inserting subscriber no in text file using KSH....
Dears ,
I have text file I need to insert the subscriber number at position 32, and need to keep the next field at position 53 (no increasing of the record lenght), I mean I just want to replace the spaces at position 32 with subscirber number .
for example
A B
A subno B
B should stay at the same position ...and subno is inserted at position 32 keeping same record lenght ...Please using KSH , I'm using sed but sed is changing the record lenght which makes a problem for the next process which depends on positions...
the below sed is changing the position of the next field which is wrong:
cat omer_aaa | sed -e 's#^\(.\{32\}\)\(.*\)$\1+9613001294\2#g' >omar_bbb
I want a solution for that if you please
Thanks ,
Omar Atia
