I’m in the kiddie pool, so I do look things up or ask what stuff does. Even though I looked at the man page for printf (printf.3 I believe), there was nothing about %*s for example, and searching for these things outside of asking LLM’s is some times too hard to filter down to the correct answer. I’m on 2 lines of code per hour, so I’m not exactly rushing.
Shell scripting is quite annoying to be sure. Thinking of learning python instead.
