I would like to know what is the command to add blank spaces.

for example,...

I can display like this...

Apr 2 11:00

But, I just want ....

Apr 2 11:00

So, I should add blank space between "Month" and "Day"...

How can I display it ?

Please give me your hands...



if [ $PREDAY -lt 10 ] ; then
TEMP=" "
PRETIME="$PREMON $TEMP $PREDAY $PREHOUR:$PREMIN"
else
PRETIME="$PREMON $PREDAY $PREHOUR:$PREMIN"
fi

I couldn't do it while using this unix shell scripts....;;;

A=1
B=2

echo $B" "$A
2 1

C=`echo $B" "$A`; echo $C
2 1

echo $B" "$A >> a ; cat a
2 1

C=`cat a` ; echo $C
2 1
