You probably already figured out how to use what the above poster said, but here's some specifics:
$ wc -l inputfile
30 <---example record count
$ head -23 inputfile > outputfile

I had to delete rows when a record was missing a field. My solution was
cut -c 202-402 ${dataFile} | awk '{if (substr($0,103,30) !~ /^ *$/) print $0} >> ${workFile}
The cut is because they came two records to a row.
Anyone want to offer a more elegant solution? (2 Replies)
