i am facing difficulties with formatting for bash
This is my existing format, the price is not under the total sales. How can i make it to be place under Total sales? The total sales does not exist in the text file and will only show under certain function. It will not be save into the text file
Title Author Price Qty Avail Qty Sold Total Sales
-------------------------------------------------------
Book1 Author1 1 1 1
Book2 Author2 2 2 2
$1.00
$4.00
Below is my coding
echo ""
column -ts : <(echo Title:Author:Price:Qty Avail:Qty Sold:Total Sales) BookDB.txt | sed "1{p;s/./-/g}"
awk -F : -v search="$1" '
BEGIN {
count = 0
}
$1 ~ search {
printf "$%0.2f\n",($3 * $5)
++count
}
END {
printf "%d,records found\n",count
}
' BookDB.txt | column -t }
