Re: [opensuse] Add variables to standard output for

Ok, I don't know how to word my question properly. I am writing a
script that greps for a string (for a command that has multiple lines of
output - the finger command)

My problem: I want to take the standard output (1) from a grep
command, but I also want to add my own values to the resulting line.
Let's use a simple example:

My script:
-----------
for i in `sort /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d":"`
do
finger $i | grep -i last
done


The output will look like this:
Last login Mon Jan 14 11:23 (SAST) on 39 from 163.197.208.90

BUT, I want to add the user's login to the lines above, for example:

$i: Last login Fri Jan 18 09:32 (SAST) on 57 from 163.197.212.133

for i in `sort /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d":"`
do
if blubb=`finger $i | grep Last`; then
echo "$i: $blubb";
fi
done
