Manipulating two files
Hi Friends,
I prefer to represent my problem with example.
I have two files as below:
file1.txt
---------
abcd.....1234......XY
abcd.....1235......XX
abcd.................
abcd...231236..1111YX
abcd...241236..1112YY
abcd...241237......YY
abce.....1235......YY
file2.txt
-------
1235,9998
1237,9999
I need the final file to be like below:
final_f.txt
---------
abcd.....1234......XY
abcd.....1235..9998XX
abcd.................
abcd...231236..1111YX
abcd...241236..1112YY
abcd...241237..9999YY
abce.....1235..9998YY
NOTE: dot(.) indicates one space
To be precise, I have a file(file1.txt) of fixed length and no field separator. Each record is of fixed length (21). I have a second file(file2.txt) which is having 2 fields only which are comma (,) separated. I need to parse through the first file. Whenever I will get a value from char 10-13, I will search in file2's first field. If I get the value, will take the second filed from the file2.txt and will replace the 16-19 charecters of the first file with the second field of second file. Point to note that the final fie is of (21) same length of the first file.
Hope this can be done through AWK. But as am new to it, any help is appreciated. I need this very immediately.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
rin**

LEARN ABOUT PHP
phar.interceptfilefuncs
PHAR.INTERCEPTFILEFUNCS(3) 1 PHAR.INTERCEPTFILEFUNCS(3)
Phar::interceptFileFuncs - instructs phar to intercept fopen, file_get_contents, opendir, and all of the stat-related functions
SYNOPSIS
finalpublicstatic void Phar::interceptFileFuncs (void )
DESCRIPTION
instructs phar to intercept fopen(3), readfile(3), file_get_contents(3), opendir(3), and all of the stat-related functions. If any of
these functions is called from within a phar archive with a relative path, the call is modified to access a file within the phar archive.
Absolute paths are assumed to be attempts to load external files from the filesystem.
This function makes it possible to run PHP applications designed to run off of a hard disk as a phar application.
PARAMETERS
No parameters.
RETURN VALUES
EXAMPLES
Example #1
A Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) example
<?php
Phar::interceptFileFuncs();
include 'phar://' . __FILE__ . '/file.php';
?>
Assuming that this phar is at /path/to/myphar.phar and it contains file.php and file2.txt, if file.php contains this code:
Example #2
A Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) example
<?php
echo file_get_contents('file2.txt');
?>
Normally PHP would search the current directory for file2.txt, which would translate as the directory of file.php, or the current direc-
tory of a command-line user. Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) instructs PHP to consider the current directory to be phar:///path/to/myphar.phar/
and so opens phar:///path/to/myphar.phar/file2.txt in the above example code.
