I need some help to display grep output in table columns.
I have a script that grab info from whois to display the creation, expiry date and ns server of specific domain names.
#!/bin/sh
cat domain-file.txt | while read line ; do
lLine="$(echo $line | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')"
echo "$lLine\t" >> table.csv;
sleep 3
echo "\n$lLine"
host=whois.nic.re
created=$(whois -h $host $lLine | egrep -i 'created:')
echo "$created\t" >> table.csv
sleep 2
expire=$(whois -h $host $lLine | egrep -i 'Expiry Date:')
echo "$expire\t" >> table.csv
sleep 2
nserver=$(whois -h $host $lLine | egrep -i 'nserver:')
echo "$nserver\t" >> table.csv
echo "------------------------------------------" >> table.csv
done
exit
Everything is working well except that im trying to display the output in a table like this :
Domain Created Date Expiry date NS
abcd.com 19/01/2018 19/01/2019 ns.abcd.com ns2.abcd.com
1234.com 19/01/2018 19/01/2019 ns.1234.com ns2.1234.com
Instead im getting an output like that :
abcd.com
Created date: 19/01/2018
Expiry date: 19/01/2019
nserver: ns.abcd.com
nserver: ns2.abcd.com
------------------------------------------
1234.com
Created date: 19/01/2018
Expiry date: 19/01/2019
nserver: ns.1234.com
nserver: ns2.1234.com
------------------------------------------
I have tried many ways with sed and awk but i always get messy table.
Im pretty new with shell script so If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated.
Thank you
