Hello folks,
Can you please help me: I have file with lines:
aaa
bbb
ccc
I need to produce:
'aaa'
'bbb'
'ccc'
first of all, this is not the forum to talk about general purpose shell
usage. next time, try a more appropriate one like news:comp.unix.shell
however, the trick here is to use an awk variable to avoid unnecessary
quoting things such as :
awk -v q="'" '{ print q $0 q }' << 'EOF'
aaa
bbb
ccc
EOF
which is far more readable than :
awk '{ print "'"'"'" $0 "'"'"'" }' << 'EOF'
aaa
bbb
ccc
EOF
or
awk "{ print \"'\" \$0 \"'\" }" << 'EOF'
aaa
bbb
ccc
EOF
Regards,
Cyrille Lefevre
