Print some results in a text file using script in linux
 
hello everyone,
i really need your help to write a script which would just print following kind of result into a text file (result.txt)

Code:
XYZ test Results

ID: <unique-id>                Date: <date>

-------------------------------------------------
| Task        | Result    | Time      |
-------------------------------------------------
| <task1>      | <Result1> | <time1>  |
|              |          |          |
-------------------------------------------------

AD No: <adn>              Generated Date: <tdate>

above all the values of <something> are dynamic or predefined.


Please, kindly help to with this issue... Thanks in advance.

Just about any programming lang COULD do that, it's your choice... Personally I'd probably use Perl.

Code:
echo "ID: $1              Date: $2 /n/n

-------------------------------------------------/n
| Task        | Result    | Time      |/n
-------------------------------------------------/n
| $3          | $4        | $5        |/n
|              |          |          |/n
-------------------------------------------------/n/n

AD No: $6              Generated Date: $2  "
You can start with some simple bash like this and perhaps combine sed and gawk.
Then you sh program.sh p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 > result.txt
where p are the parameters or you can chmod a+x program.sh and just ./program.sh p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 > result.txt

I get the feeling that this is homework.
