Formatting terminal command output

[Keith]

The terminal command date; iwlist wlan0 scan |grep -i quality outputs the current date/time and data about my wireless connection on two lines:

keith@desktop-1:~$ date; iwlist wlan0 scan |grep -i quality
Tue Feb 12 13:27:37 GMT 2013
                    Quality=54/70  Signal level=-56 dBm

Is it possible output both the date and data on one line?

How about:

Code: [Select]

echo $(date)$(iwlist wlan0 scan | grep -i quality)

?

You're a star!  What's it like to know what you're doing?!
I might have another one in a short while!

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
for i in `iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i quality`
do
  echo -n "$i "
done
echo ""

Yep: that works, too.  Not such a Mad Penguin, then! 
Many thanks, gents.
