Hi ,

I have below problem and needs your advice,

i have a file a.txt as below

12|romario|ronaldo|robert
23|aaa|bbb|haaa
000000002

There is no issues when i open this file in window,it will sows as it is.

in Unix:

i want the last record into seperate file.

So i used
$ tail -1 a.txt > b.txt

Output shows(b.txt) that
23|aaa|bbb|haaa
000000002

There is no carriage return?

how to split these line into 2 seperate lines when i suing Shell scripts.

Thanks and Regards,
Hari

Do a 'cat -vet <file>' in unix to take a look at exactly what the file looks like. That'll give you any unprintable characters, the carriage returns and line feeds etc.

Let's start with that and decide how to sort it out after that.

Hi,

Output shows(b.txt) that
23|aaa|bbb|haaa$
000000002

There is $ simple in line 1,
There is no carriage return at last line.

Can you advise please.
