Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to separate file content Post 302225445 by runmeat6 on Friday 15th of August 2008 12:07:55 PM

If the format does not include the spaces as originally posted, then all bets are off to be able to separate the last two fields. I tried my previous post under other conditions and it did not work as desired, so I have modified my original post with the formatting of a following post and tested it under various conditions, but again, it will only work given the spacing conditions of the original post.
Code:
sed s/'    '/:/g filename | awk -F: '{printf"%s\n%s\n%s\n\n",$1,$2,$4}'

or
Code:
sed s/'        '/:/ filename | sed s/'    '/:/ | awk -F: '{printf"%s\n%s\n%s\n\n",$1,$2,$3}'

and again the colon (":") could be any character as long as it is not found in any of the 700 lines of your file.
