Substrings and the likes in AIX 4.2 ?
In AIX 4.2, are there any shell commands to do substrings and the text like manipulation commands ?
I want to take an error log where errors are multi-ligned and convert them into single lines to ease tracking/monitoring. I may need to shorten them out too.
If I can manage to put them into an Oracle table, it would even be great (other thread).

INTRO(1) BSD General Commands Manual INTRO(1)
NAME
intro -- introduction to general commands (tools and utilities)
DESCRIPTION
Section one of the manual contains most of the commands which comprise the BSD user environment. Some of the commands included in section
one are text editors, command shell interpreters, searching and sorting tools, file manipulation commands, system status commands, remote
file copy commands, mail commands, compilers and compiler tools, formatted output tools, and line printer commands.
All commands set a status value upon exit which may be tested to see if the command completed normally. Traditionally, the value 0 signifies
successful completion of the command, while a value >0 indicates an error. Some commands attempt to describe the nature of the failure by
using exit codes as defined in sysexits(3), while others simply set the status to an arbitrary value >0 (typically 1).
