Ok, I don't know how to word my question properly. I am writing a script that greps for a string (for a command that has multiple lines of output - the finger command)
My problem: I want to take the standard output (1) from a grep command, but I also want to add my own values to the resulting line. Let's use a simple example: My script: ----------- for i in `sort /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d":"` do finger $i | grep -i last done The output will look like this: -------------------------------- Last login Fri Jan 18 09:32 (SAST) on 57 from 163.197.212.133 Last login Fri Aug 31 13:06 (SAST) on 38 from 163.197.212.113 Last login Mon Jan 14 11:23 (SAST) on 39 from 163.197.208.90 Last login Wed Sep 12 08:00 (SAST) on 153 from 163.197.212.142 Last login Fri Jul 6 09:13 2007 (SAST) on 188 from 163.197.222.37 Last login Wed Feb 21 08:21 2007 (SAST) on 155 from 163.197.206.103 Last login Fri Jan 18 11:01 (SAST) on 218 from 163.197.212.11 Last login Thu Dec 20 10:50 (SAST) on 196 from 163.197.210.31 Last login Fri May 4 11:47 2007 (SAST) on 88 from 163.197.207.16 Last login Fri Jan 18 09:15 (SAST) on 81 from 163.197.212.83 BUT, I want to add the user's login to the lines above, for example: $i: Last login Fri Jan 18 09:32 (SAST) on 57 from 163.197.212.133 $i: Last login Fri Aug 31 13:06 (SAST) on 38 from 163.197.212.113 $i: Last login Mon Jan 14 11:23 (SAST) on 39 from 163.197.208.90 $i: Last login Wed Sep 12 08:00 (SAST) on 153 from 163.197.212.142 $i: Last login Fri Jul 6 09:13 2007 (SAST) on 188 from 163.197.222.37 where $i is the login of the user from the script How can I place $i, and the standard output of grep, on the same line (make it 1 line of output) ?
