updating data in a file automatically
Thanks guys! it worked!
I have followup, I need to update the file by putting a 12byte data on each line (from column 305 through 317) and output it to a file with fix line length of 350 (as the previous post solution). I am doing this manually and i wonder if it can be automated using the awk programming.
Thanks a lot !!! you guys rock!

Hi experts.
I got a file (500mb max) and need to pivot it (loading into ORCL) and change BLANK delimiter to PIPE |.
Sometimes there are multipel BLANKS (as a particular value may be BLANK, or simply two BLANKS instead of one BLANK).
thanks for your input!
Cheers,

audit(2) audit(2)
NAME
audit - write a record to the audit log
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lbsm -lsocket -lnsl [ library... ]
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <bsm/libbsm.h>
int audit(caddr_t record, int length);
The audit() function is used to write a record to the system audit log. The data pointed to by record is written to the log after a mini-
mal consistency check, with the length parameter specifying the size of the record in bytes. The data should be a well-formed audit
record as described by audit.log(4).
The kernel validates the record header token type and length, and sets the time stamp value before writing the record to the audit log.
The kernel does not do any preselection for user-level generated events. If the audit policy is set to include sequence or trailer
tokens, the kernel will append
them to the record.
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The audit() function will fail if:
EFAULT The record argument points outside the process's allocated address space.
EINVAL The record header token ID is invalid or the length is either less than the header token size or greater than MAXAUDIT-
DATA.
EPERM The {PRIV_PROC_AUDIT} privilege is not asserted in the effective set of the calling process.
USAGE
Only privileged processes can successfully execute this call.
