Depending upon character at particular position, string needs to be appended
Depending upon character at particular position in a line, string needs to be appended followed by empty spaces till 256th column position at the end of the each line in the file.
example:
123p4 J8769
123q4 R2345
123r4 S2345
What I Require is, it has to check at 7th column character and that is J for first line so it should become 123p4 8769 Jaya . J will be replaced my empty space and Jaya will be appended at 14 location followed by empty spaces till 256th column position.
the ideal result is as below:
123p4 8769 Jaya
123q4 2345 Ravi
123r4 2345 Satish
File is huge and all the lines in the file need to be applied above said logic.
Any script help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jaya
