Please help with this.
I have several excel files (with and .xlsx format) with 10-15 columns each.
They all have the same type of data but the columns are not ordered in the same way.
Here is a 3 column example. What I want to do add the alphabet
from column 2 to column 3, provided they both have the keyword 'BAM'
in them. Also the prefix 12 needs to be removed (if it is present before BAM).
Also the second column may have a space between BAM and 2A, that space needs to be ignored. So BAM2A is the same as BAM 2A, similarly if space is present in 3rd col, that has to be removed in the output.
So 12BAM2 -1 becomes BAM2A-1.
The last row remains unchanged because both column dont have BAM.
Hello Can Any1 tell me the difference between the col command and the col command with the -f option.
I tried running both of them but i can't see any difference.
Please guide me. (1 Reply)

Hello,
I have some tab delimited data and I need to move the last col. I could hard code it,
awk '{ print $1,$NF,$2,$3,$4,etc }' infile > outfile

colrm
COLRM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLRM(1)NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read
from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec-
ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
