One more thing...
Thank you for everything... but I forgot to mention that I need to get rid of only users that starts with a alpha character followed by 4 digits (ie. A9999).
Can you do this with awk or do I have to use ksh?
Thanks.

Hi Gurus,
I am working with a korn shell script. I should replace in a very great file the character ";" with a space.
Example:
2750;~
2734;~
2778;~
2751;~
2751;~
2752;~
what the fastest method is? Sed? Awk?
Speed is dead main point, Seen the dimensions of the files
Thanks (6 Replies)

iswalpha
ISWALPHA(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ISWALPHA(3)
NAME
iswalpha - test for alphabetic wide character
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int iswalpha(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The iswalpha() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isalpha(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to
the wide-character class "alpha".
The wide-character class "alpha" is a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character
class "graph" and of the wide-character class "print".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space"
and its subclass "blank".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", the wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "punct".
The wide-character class "alpha" is disjoint from the wide-character class "digit".
The wide-character class "alpha" contains the wide-character classes "upper" and "lower".
The wide-character class "alpha" always contains at least the letters 'A' to 'Z' and 'a' to 'z'.
RETURN VALUE
The iswalpha() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "alpha". Otherwise, it returns
zero.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO

NOTES
The behavior of iswalpha() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
