removing a delimiter at the start of row
I Have this code
while [ ${iCount1} -le ${reccount} ]
do
column1=":`cat /home/test_inter.txt|head -${iCount1}|tail -1|cut -d "," -f2`"
columnA=$columnA$column1
iCount1=`expr ${iCount1} + 1`
done
echo $columnA
The output of this code is coming as
:1:2:2:3:3:4
A colon(
at the beginning of each row I am using this colon as a field delimiter. But I don't want it at the beginning of each row.
Any help regarding this?
