I am using the following command at the Unix prompt to make my 'infile' into a fixed width file of 100 characters.
awk '{printf "%-100s\n",$0}' infile > outfile However, there are some records with a special character "©" These records are using 3 characters in place of one and my record size is increasing to 102 because of that. Can someone suggest me a solution so that the width of the record does not exceed 100 when I transfer this file as text to other server using ftp?
