..its stilll not running Im afraid..
$ awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","}{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i=="0"){$i=""}}}1' SLsTester_DataFile.csv > SLsOUtputFile.csv;
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
/applmgr@fintest:~/finliveappl/su/11.5.0/payroll/gl $
..I've also tried running it within a script but it errors the same...
Thing is, as I have several date fields in each line ($5 $8 $9 $19 $20 $27) that may or may not need changing (exactly the same however, from zero to null), will this script simply swap ALL fields it finds with a zero only populated or will I need to specify field numbers?
Apologies for the questions but this is good for me to learn..
ThanksInAdvance...
Steven

test::use::ok
Test::use::ok(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::use::ok(3)
NAME
Test::use::ok - Alternative to Test::More::use_ok
SYNOPSIS
use ok 'Some::Module';
DESCRIPTION
According to the Test::More documentation, it is recommended to run "use_ok()" inside a "BEGIN" block, so functions are exported at
compile-time and prototypes are properly honored.
That is, instead of writing this:
use_ok( 'Some::Module' );
use_ok( 'Other::Module' );
One should write this:
BEGIN { use_ok( 'Some::Module' ); }
BEGIN { use_ok( 'Other::Module' ); }
However, people often either forget to add "BEGIN", or mistakenly group "use_ok" with other tests in a single "BEGIN" block, which can
create subtle differences in execution order.
With this module, simply change all "use_ok" in test scripts to "use ok", and they will be executed at "BEGIN" time. The explicit space
after "use" makes it clear that this is a single compile-time action.
