There I go.
Here is the solution for my problem.
I hope it helps someone who is new to Shell Scripting like me
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x
#======================================================#
# char_count = Number of characters in the first line of file
# sed is used to trim the leading blank spaces in the char_count variable
#======================================================#
char_count=$(head -1 $1 | wc -c)
char_count=`echo "${char_count}" | sed 's/^ *//'`
# If char_count <> 106 (which means whole file content is in 1 line then format
if [[ $char_count -ne 106 ]]
then
#======================================================#
# Finds the delimiter character from 4th position in file and replaces the
# delimiter with '*' using 'tr'. Stores into temp1.txt
#======================================================#
field_delimiter=$(cut -c 4 $1)
tr "$field_delimiter" '*' < $1 > temp1.txt
#======================================================#
#Finds the newline character at 106th position
# Replaces all newline characters in temp1.txt to '\n' and stores as temp2.txt
#======================================================#
newline_char=$(cut -c 106 $1)
tr "$newline_char" '\n' < temp1.txt > temp2.txt
#======================================================#
# Deletes all the blank lines from the file
#======================================================#
sed '/^$/d' temp2.txt > $1
#======================================================#
# Deletes temp1.txt and temp2.txt files
#======================================================#
rm -f temp1.txt temp2.txt
#======================================================#

x2sys_merge
X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt) Generic Mapping Tools X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt)NAME
x2sys_merge - Merge an updated COEs tables
SYNOPSIS
x2sys_merge -Amain_COElist.d -Mnew_COElist.d
DESCRIPTION
x2sys_merge will read two crossovers data base and output the contents of the main one updated with the COEs in the second one. The second
file should only contain updated COEs relatively to the first one. That is, it MUST NOT contain any new two tracks intersections (This
point is NOT checked in the code). This program is useful when, for any good reason like file editing NAV correction or whatever, one had
to recompute only the COEs between the edited files and the rest of the database.
-A Specify the file main_COElist.d with the main crossover error data base.
-M Specify the file new_COElist.d with the newly computed crossover error data base.
OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.
EXAMPLES
To update the main COE_data.txt with the new COEs estimations saved in the smaller COE_fresh.txt, try
x2sys_merge -ACOE_data.txt -MCOE_fresh.txt > COE_updated.txt
