-a non-blank line- Here are three examples of using pr on a 4.2bsd system. Does anyone have comments? % pr -h "The Title is goes here..." inputfile will print-format contents on inputfile. Headers will look like this: Mar 17 14:40 1984 The Title goes here... Page 1 % pr -8 -w80 -t -l1 infile will reformat infile into 8 columns, with 80 characters across the screen, suppressing blank lines and header lines. The -l1 is a trick. pr has a hard time with multiple columns unless the -l1 is there. (It specifies screen length of one line!) % pr -m -t filex filex > filexx will merge (horizontally across lines) the contents of filex with itself omitting heading line and blank lines, and store the results into filexx. - - - - - - * - - - - - -
