Urgent!! : How to read very long line using shell script
I have to fix files with only one huge line. Basically this line contains huge number of records may be in thousands of fix length. Suppose if we consider the length of one record as 100 bytes and if we have 50 such record. Then the file will have only one line with 100*50 bytes.
I want to fix each record. How can I do it in shell script. I tried to use sed but I am afraid if it overflows the buffer because of huge line. Is there any utility in shell? I am ok with awk and pearl. But I am not sure this can be done in awk and pearl. Please kindly let me know.
Basically I want to replace integer string with its binary equivalent. Meaning in my record on specified position if I getting “12” I want to replace this with its binary equivalent.
Please kindly let me know.
Thanks,
Harshal

NAME

SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)
DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the
font. Example:
FONT *myfont;
FONT *capitals;
FONT *fontcopy;
...
/* Create a font of only capital letters */
capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');
/* Create a copy of the font */
fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
...
destroy_font(capitals);
destroy_font(fontcopy);
RETURN VALUE
