how to introduce a space in a single column without distrubing the other columns
Hello Experts,
I am new to this forum, I would like to do the following changes in one of the column of a txt file, which is having around 9 column.
For example, column 3 is having letters like this
I would like to convert the same column as follows
if it is having less than four letters, then the program need to introduce a space first and the the letter. If it is having four letters, then the program should bring the last number to the first place.
Need to do the conversion only in that particular column and the rest should be as such.
Can any one help me in this regard?
Expecting your replies and thanks in advance.
Regards
Fredrick.
