Answer 2

i don’t know what you are doing but
cal -3| awk '{print substr($0,23)}' works for me

Answer 3

this:
paste <(cal 3 2015 | awk '{printf "%-20s\n",$0}') <(cal 4 2015)
also worked for me, i typed paste <(cal 3 2015 | awk '{printf "%-20s\n",$0}')<(cal 4 2015) the first time(missing a space) maybe you made the same mistake

Answer 7

I'm using windows. I'm on the school's server inside of putty. The assignment is to create a project in bash using the vi editor and answer questions. one is to display two calendars side by side. I know how to display a calendar I just can't get them to print side by side. I tried using paste but I'm doing something wrong. i keep getting syntax errors.
