Shell scripts for record Re format
I have few files from windows which are tab delimited or ‘|' delimited files.
I need to convert these files without any delimiter ( so in a way it would become variable length with no delimiter )
Can someone help me with the command in bourne shell scripts., ( I am trying with awk )
Thanks In Advance,
