Removing inserted newlines from a fileld of fixed width file.
Hi champs!
I have a fixed width file in which the records appear like this
As you see, the record for 33333 is split into two records because of newline inserted in description of 33333. I want these extraneous newlines from description field to be removed for records where ever they appear in the file.
Clues can be : check the file for length 11 -32 for each record and if newline is present strip it off.
Any other solution is welcome too.
I want the output to be :
- it is not fixed that line break will appear after 'description' only..it can appear anywhere in the second field.But it is sure that it will appear in second field only, incase it appears.
- This is just the sample record for understanding, code should not be dependent on it.The code can be dependent on positioning if required.
It is a fixed width file that means each filed is identified by length in the record.
Please let me know if you need more clarification.

I am trying to remove a line feed (\n) within a fixed width record. I tried the tr -d ‘\n' command, but it also removes the record delimiter. Is there a way to remove the line feed without removing the record delimiter? (10 Replies)
Hi All,
I have created a script which generates FIXED-WIDTH file by executing Oracle query.
SELECT RPAD(NVL(col1,CHR(9)),20)||NVL(col2,CHR(9))||NVL(col3,CHR(9) FROM XYZ
It generates the data file with proper alignment. But if same file i transfer to windows server or Mainframe... (5 Replies)

srec_stewie - Stewie's binary file format
DESCRIPTION
If you have a URL for documentation of this format, please let me know.
Any resemblance to the Motorola S-Record is superficial, and extends only to the data records. The header records and termination records
are completely different. None of the other Motorola S-Records record type are available.
The Records
All records start with an ASCII capital S character, value 0x53, followed by a type specifier byte. All records consist of binary bytes.
The Header Record
Each file starts with a fixed four byte header record.
+-----+------+------+------+
|0x53 | 0x30 | 0x30 | 0x33 |
+-----+------+------+------+
The Data Records
Each data record consists of 5 fields. These are the type field, length field, address field, data field, and the checksum. The lines
always start with a capital S character.
+-----+------+---------------+---------+------+----------+
|0x53 | Type | Record Length | Address | Data | Checksum |
+-----+------+---------------+---------+------+----------+
Type The type field is a one byte field that specifies whether the record has a two-byte address field (0x31), a three-byte address
field (0x32) or a four-byte address field (0x33). The address is big-endian.
Record Length
The record length field is a one byte field that specifies the number of bytes in the record following this byte.
Address This is a 2-, 3- or 4-byte address that specifies where the data in the record is to be loaded into memory.
Data The data field contains the executable code, memory-loadable data or descriptive information to be transferred.
Checksum
The checksum is a one byte field that represents the least significant byte of the one's complement of the sum of the values repre-
sented by the bytes making up the record's length, address, and data fields.
The Termination Record
Each file ends with a fixed two byte termination record.
+-----+------+
|0x53 | 0x38 |
+-----+------+
Size Multiplier
In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 1.2 times when represented with this format.
EXAMPLE
Here is an hex-dump example file. It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0.
0000: 53 30 30 33 53 31 10 00 00 48 65 6C 6C 6F 2C 20 S003S1...Hello,
0010: 57 6F 72 6C 64 0A 9D 53 38 World..S8
