remove characters from line
Hello,
I have multiple lines in a file, each of which will have data that looks like this: xxxxxyyyyzzzz4abcdXYZXYZXYZ pqrstPQRST2cdPQRSTPQRST lmnopqr6abcdefgRST.3abc I want to be able to remove the number 4 + the following 4 characters (abcd) in the first line. For the second line, I want to be able to remove 2 + the following 2 characters (cd) Basically, remove the number and the number of characters matching the number removed. Any suggestions? Thanks, G. |
