Hi All,

I am having 20 files with names like art_bg_11*

I want only fisrt 100 characters in ech file and want to omit all extra charactes

i tried

cut -c 1-100 art_bg_11* >> art_bg_11*

it gives 0 records .

Is there is any way to do this ???


I have written a script(below) to do this , is there any way some option in cut command to do this


#! /bin/ksh
for i in `ls art_bg_11*`
do
temp=$i
mv $i $i.bkup
cut -c 1-100 $i.bkup >> $temp
rm $i.bkup
echo $i has beed modified
done


Thanks in Advance
