HTML Help

Hi,
I learn to use " " instead of space for spacing in html. However, in my example, I never make it.
Quote:
awk: { print ${ids[${i}]}" "$1; }
awk:    ^ syntax error
awk: { print ${ids[${i}]}" "$1; }
awk: ^ syntax error
awk: fatal: invalid subscript expression

Can anyone help? Thanks

Hm, is that HTML or maybe something else?

I am not sure, but it is just like here when I am posting in this forum:

awk: ^ syntax error
awk:    ^ syntax error

I have never heard of awk with HTML before. Are you sure it's not some type of programming language?

Hi, it is just the output of awk I want to post on a linux forum for my awk usage problem.
But I have not figured out how to get the spacing between "awk:" and "^ syntax error" so that the arrow could point exactly at where the error occurs.

Alright - I searched for awk & found it to be related to *NIX. Someone else might be familiar with awk - I am not - never messed with *NIX servers myself.

What is the output when this is done?

Sorry my example is misleading. My intention is to ask how to write in html so that we can get spacing in online posts.The output of awk is what I want to post somewhere else and it contains spacing which does't show in my posts correctly. So let's forget about awk. It's just an example, my question actually can be more general than simply posting output of awk somewhere online.

I assumed the language for posting at online forums is also html, however, when using " ", I don't get any spacing but " " itself.

Hope you don't mind my awk example mislead you.

awk:    ^ syntax error This and most forums use BBCode and have HTML turned off for security reasons among others. To show html, we use the BBCode tags which the forum editor inserts using the handy little editing button(s). Some character entities in forums will show as typed without the BBCode code tags.

Can give you the HTML code for maintaining spacing, but don't think it is going to solve your problem for what you want to do. If you just want to show your code as it should be, I recommend making a text image of it, hosting it online and using the BBCode image tags to display it in the forum.

Thanks, Ron!
Can you show which BBCode tag / button for spacing in this forum and "the HTML code for maintaining spacing"?

The BBCode Guide is a guide.

What is the output when you enter the information you provided?

What I posted here is just the error info from the output when running my bash script, where I am using awk.
Thanks, Corey. I'll take a look at the BBCode Guide.

OK, so no spaces are created with this.

Now knowing more & definitely understanding this is not HTML but another beast, I'll move this to the proper zone.

Having said that, you code you gave:
Code: awk: { print ${ids[${i}]}" "$1; }
awk:    ^ syntax error
awk: { print ${ids[${i}]}" "$1; }
awk: ^ syntax error
awk: fatal: invalid subscript expression
Try something like
Code: awk: { print ${ids[${i}]}" "$1; }
awk: " ", ^ syntax error
awk: { print ${ids[${i}]}" "$1; }
awk: ^ syntax error
awk: fatal: invalid subscript expression
I am not certain if that work (I do not know if you provided the complete output or not in your response), but if you did this might not work.
