Hi,
I am trying to do this find and replace in unix and somehow its not working.

Quote:

nawk -F'|' 'NF != 8 {printf "%s||\n", $0 }' catman_852_header.txt>header
nawk -F'|' 'BEGIN{OFS="|";}{ if ($9 != "CC"){$9="CC";} print }' header>header1

TR|20080417|23078 |000000104|20080418|0530|1040001 |

I have the records coming in the above format. My requirement is if delimiter count is not 8 then put in the missing 2 delimiters. THen at the end of the file place CC.
This one fails when at position 8 I get some data. ITs inserting
TR|20080417|23078 |000000104|20080418|0530|1040001 | CC||

I dont want those 2 extra delimiters at the end. IT should be

TR|20080417|23078 |000000104|20080418|0530|1040001 | CC.
TR|20080325|22952 |000000040|20080327|0530||CC.

Can anyone please help me out.

Thanks
Kiran
