Sed command not working
Hi,

I have a test file as follows:

1G102119 ^ AA1179291 ^ 06oct2006 09:50:35^ 73.4^ 2^ 13^ 0^ 1493
1G102119 ^ AA1179291 ^ 06oct2006 09:49:45^ 73.4^ 2^ 13^ 0^ 1493
1G102119 ^ AA1179291 ^ 06oct2006 09:48:58^ 73.4^ 2^ 17^ 0^ 2
1G102119 ^ AA1179291 ^ 06oct2006 09:48:58^ 73.4^ 2^ 17^ 0^ 21

I am striping of blank spaces using the following sed command.

cat test | sed -e 's/ *^/^/g' | sed -e 's/\^ */^/g' | sed -e 's/ *$//g' | sed -e 's/\.^/^/g' | sed -e 's/\^.$/^/g' > test.new

I am getting the results as follows:

1G102119^AA1179291^06oct2006 09:50:35^73.4^2^13^0^1493
1G102119^AA1179291^06oct2006 09:49:45^73.4^2^13^0^1493
1G102119^AA1179291^06oct2006 09:48:58^73.4^2^17^0^
1G102119^AA1179291^06oct2006 09:48:58^73.4^2^17^0^21

But if you notice, the third record is having a value missed at the end. The value 2 is missing.

What is wrong with the script.

Thanks.

amt

amt(1)								   User Commands							    amt(1)

NAME

       amt - run abstract machine test

SYNOPSIS

       amt [-s]

DESCRIPTION

       The  amt command is for use in a Common Criteria security certified system. The command is used to verify that the low level functions nec-
       essary to enforce the object reuse requirements of the Controlled Access Protection Profile are working correctly. /usr/bin/amt is a  shell
       script  that  executes  tests specific to your system. For a 32-bit system, the tests run as a 32-bit application. For a 64-bit system, the
       tests run twice; once as a 32-bit application and once as a 64-bit application.

       amt lists test results with a pass or fail for each test it performs, unless output is suppressed with the -s option.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -s    Suppresses output.

EXIT STATUS

       The following error values are returned:

       0     All tests passed.

       >0    Count of the number of tests that failed.

       <0    Incorrect command line argument.
