I am an OpenBSD user and I am writing an awk script which automatically generates TeX course calendars for all courses that I teach. To obtain actual calendar out of the system I use Unix cal command. The problem is that the output of the cal command uses spaces as a delimiters which creates all sorts of problems when I apply my nawk script to it. I looked the source code for cal and seems that nothing short of hacking the source code will force cal command to use delimiter other than the space. What would be the simplest way to get calendar to look like this
