Edit and insert character in a text file
Hello All,
Can somebody please help me how to accomplish the following : I have a text file called data.txt that has the following information : M|88494-998494 M|98jd#0094 M|88394-994049 M|GFG9980#009944 and so on... I need to replace the value of M to either "S" or "X" depending on whether there is "-" or "#" in the record. If there is a "-"m replace it with "S"..... Can I just use SED? thnaks! Joseph
