Manipulating Data
Hi. I haven't had to write bash scripts in a long time and have a simple task to do, but need some help:
Input:
chrY:22627291-22651542
chrY:23045932-23070172
chrY:23684890-23696359
chrY:25318610-25330083
chrY:25451096-25462570
chr10:1054847-1061799
chr10:1058606-1080131
chr10:1075964-1085061
Desired Output:
chrY 22627291 22651542
chrY 23045932 23070172
chrY 23684890 23696359
chrY 25318610 25330083
chrY 25451096 25462570
chr10 1054847 1061799
chr10 1058606 1080131
chr10 1075964 1085061
Also, the input is in a input.txt file, the output file should also be a text file. So basically the colon and the dash need to be replaced by one space. I'm thinking I would use the "cut c" function but not sure because the number of characters that have to be separated from the second column varies.. Any help would be great and really appreciated. Thanks!

lua-config50
lua-config(1) General Commands Manual lua-config(1)
NAME
lua-config - Lua configuration information
SYNOPSIS
Basic usage
gcc ` lua-config --include ` my_prog.c -o my_prog ` lua-config --libs `
DESCRIPTION
The lua-config script allows you to determine useful information about the chosen version of lua running on the Debian GNU/Linux system in
use. More information can be found by running lua-config without any arguments.
CAVEATS
This script is unique to Debian and as such you shouldn't rely on its presence on every system. Lua is an embedded language by default and
different Linux distributions each take a different approach to making it possible to compile with Lua. The pkg-config system also provides
a way to look for libraries and is more likely to be supported across different Linux distributions. Debian's pkg-config name for Lua 5.0
is lua50 and the libraries are in lualib50. These pkg-config files can be found in the liblua50-dev and liblualib50-dev packages.
AUTHOR
lua-config was written by Daniel Silverstone <dsilvers@debian.org>.
This manual page was written by Daniel Silverstone <dsilvers@debian.org>. For the Debian project. It may be used without restriction in
any other system.
