Thanks Jim. It helped me in getting started. Just one followup: If the file is as:
a|b|c|d|3|f;;1;|f2;;0;|f3;;1;
a|b|c|d|5|m;;1;|x;;1;|f3;;0;|f4;;1;|f5;;1;
how can I change to
a|b|c|d|3|f;f2;f3;
a|b|c|d|5|m;x;f3;f4;f5;
Basically I need to starting from 6th column to the end of line, delete ";1;|" or ";0;|"
Thanks again for your help.
Regards
Sandeep

For counting the occurences of specific character in the file
I am issuing the command
grep -o 'character' filename | wc -w
It works in other shells but not in HP-UX as there is no option -o for grep.

I'm trying to count the number of 2 specific characters in a very large file. I'd like to avoid using gsub because its taking too long.
I was thinking something like:
awk '-F' { t += NF - 1 } END {print t}' infile > outfile
which isn't working
Any ideas would be great. (3 Replies)

STARTFLUXBOX(1) Fluxbox Manual STARTFLUXBOX(1)
NAME
startfluxbox - start a fluxbox session
SYNOPSIS
startfluxbox
DESCRIPTION
startfluxbox is a script which runs the file ~/.fluxbox/startup If it doesn't exist it will be generated.
startfluxbox should be started from your ~/.xinitrc if you use startx, or ~/.xsession if you run a display manager, like xdm.
FILES
~/.fluxbox/startup
This file contains all commands that should be executed before fluxbox is started. The initial file contains helpful comments for
beginners. It also starts fluxbox.
EXAMPLES
The default ~/.fluxbox/startup is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
#
# fluxbox startup-script:
#
# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
# Change your keymap:
xmodmap "$HOME/.Xmodmap"
# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
#
# unclutter -idle 2 &
# wmnd &
# wmsmixer -w &
# idesk &
# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.
exec fluxbox
# or if you want to keep a log:
# exec fluxbox -log "$fluxdir/log"
If you need to start applications after fluxbox, you can change the exec fluxbox line above to something like this:
exec fluxbox &
fbpid=$!
sleep 1
{
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black &
ipager &
gkrellm2 &
} &
wait $fbpid
So xsetroot, ipager, and gkrellm2 will all be started after fluxbox, after giving fluxbox 1 second to startup.
For more details on what else you can do in this script, see sh(1), or the documentation for your shell.
