I had a file like this
$ cat testf.txt
First field
Second field
Third field
4th field
fifth field
I was interested to make a HTML table of the contents of the above file "testf.txt"
| 1 First field |
| 2 Second field |
| 3 Third field |
| 4 4th field |
| 5 fifth field |
This is how I converted the above "testf.txt" into a HTML code to generate a table like above.
$ awk 'BEGIN {print "<table border="1">"} END {print "</table>"}{print "<tr>\n<td>"NR,$0"</td>\n</tr>"}' testf.txt > testf.html
The contents of testf.html will be like this
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td>1 First field</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2 Second field</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3 Third field</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4 4th field</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>5 fifth field</td>
</tr>
</table>
