Hi All,

I am using following script to name the file base of some values

#!/bin/sh
sourcefile=$1
awk '
BEGIN{ n = 1; name = "FILEFILE12" n ".txt"; }
{
if (substr($0,1,10) == "FILEFILE12") 
{
close (name)
n++
a = substr($0,11,10);
b = substr($0,21,5);
name = b "_Src_" a ".txt"

}
print > name
}
' $sourcefile

Remove extra spaces by below trick
Say
l

ampm="a  b  c"
lampms=${lampm//[[:space:]]}
echo $lampms
abc

tr -d [:SPACE:]

You just need to tweak the substr function parameters to avoid the space. Provide the input file you are using so that we can also have a look.

I know.. but.. above for simple understand ... as per que asked ..

Note: SPACE here always have to be in lower case .... [:space:]

# a="a b c"
# echo $a | tr -d [:SPACE:]
tr: invalid character class `SPACE'

Also
# echo $a | tr -d [:space:]
b c <-- Missing 1st char ...

# echo $a | tr -d "[:space:]" <-- Must be quoted
abc

There are multiple ways ... using sed, awk, tr etc...

Else:

pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~$ echo a b c|tr -d [[:space:]]
abc

my data is coming as

INDIAINDIABACD 11 XYZ
INDIAINDIABACD 12 XYZ


and i split the data into multiple files based in INDIAINDIA and file name will be BACD_11.txt and BACD_12.txt but in this case it is forming as "BACD _Src_12 .txt" and "BACD _Src_11 .txt"

a = substr($0,11,10)
a2=gsub(/[ \t]+$/, "", a)
b = substr($0,21,5)
b2=gsub(/[ \t]+$/, "", b)
fn = a2 "_Src" b2 ".txt"

using gusb i am not able to trim also it is returning blank to a2 and b2 respectively.

This whole code is inside awk
