Hi Era,
If "9” is in column 21 and ‘00000000’ in column 123 then i need to Change the ‘00000000’ starting in column 123 to ‘19000101’.
This needs to works irrespective of if there are any spaces or not in the file.
The tried your code and it does not give me the required output.
The file is as below:
0011200ALN00000000009EGYPT 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000062 004O000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000390440000000000000450140460440000000000000190010 000000000000000000
This is just an example record and spaces vary in the file. But the "9” in column 21 and ‘00000000’ in column 123 remain in the saem positions irrespective of wherever the space is.
Can you please relook into this one.
Will be very helpfull.
