I have a small plain text database and a shell 1|[a]|and, with, whether|0|1 2|[ab]|a son; [a^b] an ape|1|1 script which formats that database. #!/usr/local/bin/bash # # gcodo - prosesu geiriadur cymraeg y canol oesoedd # # gcodo < ffeil # # ee. ffeil while read llinell; do one=`echo $llinell | cut -f2 -d"|"` two=`echo $llinell | cut -f3 -d"|"` echo -e $one\\c >> /tmp/one.$$ echo -e "to $two\c" >> /tmp/two.$$ fold -w27 /tmp/one.$$ >> /tmp/un.$$ fold -w35 /tmp/two.$$ >> /tmp/dau.$$ pr -m -t -w75 /tmp/un.$$ /tmp/dau.$$ echo -e "-----------------------------------------------\c" rm /tmp/one.$$ /tmp/two.$$ /tmp/un.$$ /tmp/dau.$$ echo done The Linux pr didn't split words : ----------------------------------------------------------------- [abad] an abbott; [abades] an abbess; [abadaeth] an abbotship; [abaty] an abbey ----------------------------------------------------------------- The FreeBSD pr does : ----------------------------------------------------------------- [abad] an abbott; [abades] an abbess; [abadaeth] an abbotship; [aba ty] an abbey ----------------------------------------------------------------- I've read the man pages.
