A simpler
method is to create script parse.awk
Code:
{
f1=substr($1,1,9);
f2=substr($1,10,20);
f3=substr($1,30,50);
f4=substr($1,80,10);
f5=substr($1,90,50);
f6=substr($1,140,10);
f7=substr($1,150,50);
f8=substr($1,200,10);
f9=substr($1,210,50);
f10=substr($1,260,10);
f11=substr($1,270,8);
f12=substr($1,278,8);
OFS="|";
print f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6,f7,f8,f9,f10,f11,f12;
print "\n";
}
Then run
Code:
awk -f parse.awk filename.txt > FinalResult.txt
I believe that your original code is taking a long time as each backtick, echo and awk is spawning a new process
