I have a file that contains lines like the following.
src1 trg1 src2 src3 trg3
I need to parse the file and send the two values in each line to another
program. When there is only one value on the line, I have to send the
value twice. Here's the target I wrote to parse the file. I looks pretty
ugly. Can anyone simplify this?
Yeah, I can simplify it to one line of shell:
sed -e 's/^\([^ ]*\)$/\1 \1/' < the-file | another-program
HTH, —mark—
