Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Substituting Characters using SED Post 302305669 by altamaha on Thursday 9th of April 2009 01:07:57 PM

My example was not clear enough. I have 12000 rows in my user accounts, and I wish to replace any capitals in the 3rd field of any row with lowercase.

The 3rd field of the output file will be used as a join field with a second file.

Agan, I thank you for you help.

SYBASE_RESULT(3)														  SYBASE_RESULT(3)

sybase_result - Get result data

SYNOPSIS
string sybase_result (resource $result, int $row, mixed $field) DESCRIPTION
Returns the contents of the cell at the row and offset in the specified Sybase result set. When working on large result sets, you should consider using one of the functions that fetch an entire row (specified below). As these functions return the contents of multiple cells in one function call, they're MUCH quicker than sybase_result(). Also, note that specifying a numeric offset for the field argument is much quicker than specifying a fieldname or tablename.fieldname argument. Recommended high-performance alternatives: sybase_fetch_row(3), sybase_fetch_array(3) and sybase_fetch_object(3). PARAMETERS
o $result - o $row - o $field - The field argument can be the field's offset, or the field's name, or the field's table dot field's name (tablename.fieldname). If the column name has been aliased ('select foo as bar from...'), use the alias instead of the column name. RETURN VALUES
sybase_result(3) returns the contents of one cell from a Sybase result set. PHP Documentation Group SYBASE_RESULT(3)
