I'm a little stuck with a data file I've been collecting data in. The file contains one field of data running continuously down the file and I can't work out how to format the data into three columns.
This is a mock up of the file: Each r# is a random number and varies in length, this goes down the file for a long ways.
This is how i'd like it to look with three columns of data.
Also with awk I can get data based on a field number ($1, $2) is there anyway of selecting data based on a line number?
I want to take a file that is generated in 132 columns from a unix based report generator and transfer it to a windows environment and preserve the column length. Any ideas how I can do this so that whatever windows based text editor that reads the document will know it should be in 132 columns?... (16 Replies)

px_get_data_alpha
PX_GET_DATA_ALPHA(3) Library Functions Manual PX_GET_DATA_ALPHA(3)NAME
PX_get_data_alpha -- Get alpha data field
SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h>
int PX_get_data_alpha(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int len, char **value)
DESCRIPTION
Converts a data field as it is stored in the database file into a string for the given encoding. You must set the target encoding before in
order to recode the string. If you do not set the encoding the data will be returned as is. You should use this function instead of access-
ing the data directly.
data points to the start of the data field in the record. It must be calculated by summing up all field length before the field to operate
on and add it to the base pointer of the record.
The function allocates memory for the string returned in *value. This memory has to be freed by the application.
Note:
This function is deprecated and obsolete if PX_retrieve_record(3) is used.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 if the field data starts with a null byte, -1 in case of an error and 1 otherwise.
