How to generate a pipe ( | ) delimited file?
Hi Friends,
I have certain log files extracted. I want it to be converted in pipe ( | ) delimited file. How do i do it?
E.g.
Account Balance : 123456789 Rs O/P (
Account Balance: | 123456789 Rs)
Account Balance (Last) > 987654321 Rs O/P (
Account Balance (Last) | 987654321 Rs)
Last update = 21/09/2008 5.30 PM O/P (
Last update = | 21/09/2008 | 5.30 | PM)
Now the real complication is, it can be anything apart from above mentioned example. So it would be great help if you explain the script a bit so that I can write it as I want.
Is it possible?
If yes,
Requesting you to guide me to write a "
Simple" script.
Wold appreciate if you explain it briefly as well
Bye
