Operating Systems AIX Pattern to replace ^M and ^Y in a 4.2 AIX text file
# 8  
Old 05-22-2009
The end of the record is marked with the ^Y value which I still haven't figured out how to replace it. Entering Ctrl-V + Ctrl-Y prints nothing on the console. I have to do a Ctrl-C to get out or another Ctrl char that actual prints something on the command prompt (like Ctrl-M).


sed 'N;s/\n/@/' /some/file

I tried something similar but more like removing the \n. When I tried opening the result with VI, it said the line was too long. I realized after that Dah ! Sure, if I remove the line feed the whole file will just be one single record ! So by using your example, it should produce the same problem.
