Well, I'm not sure how to do this in a textfactory, but it is trivial in perl.
Below is a sample perl program that does what you want. To make this production
just change "<DATA>" to "<>" on the while line and use it as a unix filter.
(you also don't need
anything below "# desired output")
Good Luck,
Matt
#!/usr/bin/perl
printf( "%5s %5s %5s\n", 'data1', 'data2', 'data3' );
while ( $line = <DATA> ) {
chomp($line);
if ( $line =~ m|^data1=(.*?);\s+data2=(.*?);\s+data3=(.*?);| ) {
printf( "%5s %5s %5s\n", $1, $2, $3 );
}
}
# desired output
# data1 data2 data3
# 234.4 343.7 588.0
# 511.5 654.7 654.9
# 651.8 925.5 876.0
