what is the format that you have for the credit card number and are the below format available:

meaning is it possible that exist 2 spaces only ?
Code:
11111111 1111 9621

because I have wrote a script that applicable with 3 spaces and no spaces format only.

I mean is the first space after the first 4 digits exist or not?

Note:- there is no problem if there are no spaces.

---------- Post updated at 15:30 ---------- Previous update was at 15:02 ----------

kindly note that the position that you mentioned earlier are not the 11 && 12 fields but they are the 12 && 13 fields

use below
use nawk , gawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk



Code:
nawk '
($12 ~ /TXE|AF|XT|TT|IT|TX|DX|TY|DT|MO|SE|CF|AXE|DF|CX|TF|DE|XF|CNE|IX|CN|SC|XTE|AX|CX/)
{
m=match($13," ")
x=length($13)
             if (m) {
                         s=substr($13,1,7)
                         b=substr($13,x-3)
                        for (i=8;i<x-3;i++) {stars=stars"*"}
                     }
             else {
                          s=substr($13,1,6)
                          b=substr($13,x-3)
                          for (i=7;i<x-3;i++) { stars=stars"*" }
                    }
    $13= s stars b
}
1' FS=":" OFS=":" infile.txt > outfile.txt

then you can rename the output file:-
mv outfile.txt  infile.txt

for the VDI pattern just change the above mention fields to the required one
and feed us back about the program above.

NAME
font, subfont - external format for fonts and subfonts SYNOPSIS
#include <libg.h> DESCRIPTION
Fonts and subfonts are described in cachechars(2). External fonts are described by a plain text file that can be read using rdfontfile. The format of the file is a header followed by any number of subfont range specifications. The header contains two numbers: the height and the ascent, both in pixels. The height is the inter-line spacing and the ascent is the distance from the top of the line to the baseline. These numbers are chosen to display consis- tently all the subfonts of the font. A subfont range specification contains two or three numbers and a file name. The numbers are the inclusive range of characters covered by the subfont, with an optional starting position within the subfont, and the file name names an external file suitable for rdsubfontfile. The minimum number of a covered range is mapped to the specified starting position (default zero) of the corresponding subfont. If the subfont file name does not begin with a slash, it is taken relative to the directory containing the font file. Each field must be followed by some white space. Each numeric field may be C-format decimal, octal, or hexadecimal. External subfonts are represented in a more rigid format that can be read and written using rdsubfontfile and wrsubfontfile (see subfal- loc(2)). The format for subfont files is: a bitmap containing character images, followed by a subfont header, followed by character infor- mation. The bitmap has the format for external bitmap files described in bitmap(6). The subfont header has 3 decimal strings: n, height, and ascent. Each number is right-justified and blank padded in 11 characters, followed by a blank. The character info consists of n+1 6-byte entries, each giving the Fontchar x (2 bytes, low order byte first), top, bottom, left, and width. The x field of the last Fontchar is used to calculate the bitmap width of the previous character; the other fields in the last Fontchar are irrelevant. Note that the convention of using the character with value zero (NUL) to represent characters of zero width (see bitblt(2)) means that fonts should have, as their zeroth character, one with non-zero width.
