Get the 1st 99 characters and add new line feed at the end of the line
I have a file with varying record length in it. I need to reformat this file so that each line will have a length of 100 characters (99 characters + the line feed).
I'm using this line of code to achieve this.
However, we are having problems when the length of a record within the file exceeds 100 characters. The receiving program that processes my output file is unable to parse it correctly.
I was asked to truncate the records first, get the first 99-characters of each line, and then add the line feed character at the end of the line.
Hi i would like to add line numbers to end of each line in a file.
I am able to do it in the front of each line using sed, but not able to add at the end of the file.
Can anyone suggest
The following code adds line number to start of each line
sed = filename | sed 'N;s/\n/\t/'

How can I specify special meaning characters like ^ or $ inside a regex range. e.g
Suppose I want to search for a string that either starts with '|' character or begins with start-of-line character.
I tried the following but it does not work:

Hi! I have been struggling with a large file that has stray end of line characters.
I am working on a Mac (Lion). I mention this only because I have been mucking around with fixing my problem using sed, and I have learned far more than I wanted to know about Unix and Mac eol characters.

stl_key - setld kit manufacturing key files
DESCRIPTION
Each software product that is distributed as subsets for the setld(8) command has an associated key file. The key file's name consists of
the product's unique 3-letter name and a 3-digit version number with the string .k for a suffix. The key file is used by the software kit-
ting program kits(1) in producing software distribution packages.
A key file has a global data section and a subset descriptor section. The sections are separated by a line containing only two percent
signs (%%).
The global section specifies the product-level attributes of the product. In this section, lines that begin with number signs (#) are com-
ments and are ignored by the kits utility. Attributes are specified as name/value pairs separated by equals signs (=). There must be no
white space surrounding the equals sign. There are four mandatory attributes and two optional attributes. Attributes must have non-null
values. The attributes are:
NAME Mandatory. Specifies the name of the product. The value for NAME is a text string of up to 40 characters. If the string con-
tains blank spaces, it must be enclosed in apostrophes ('').
CODE Mandatory. Specifies the 3-character product code for the product, for example, OAT.
VERS Mandatory. Specifies the 3-digit version code for the product, for example, 100.
MI Mandatory. Specifies the pathname of the master inventory file for the product.
ROOT Optional. A single-digit integer that is set to 1 if the product is the base operating system. In all other cases, this flag
must be a zero (0). If missing, this attribute defaults to zero.
COMPRESS Optional. A single-digit integer that is set to 1 to create compressed subset files using the compress(1) utility, thereby sav-
ing space on the distribution media. To suppress compression, this attribute is a zero (0). If missing, this attribute defaults
to zero.
The subset descriptor section contains one subset descriptor line for each subset in the product. Comments are not permitted in this sec-
tion.
A subset descriptor contains subset-specific attributes in four fields separated by TAB characters. These fields are:
Subset name A character string up to 15 characters in length, composed of the 3-letter product code (for example, OAT), a mnemonic iden-
tifying the subset (for example, DCB), and the 3-digit version code (for example, 100). All letters in the subset name must
be uppercase.
Reserved This field must be a single period.
Flags A 16-bit unsigned integer
Bit 0 is the ``sticky bit,'' indicating when set that the subset cannot be removed.
Bit 1 indicates when set that the subset is optional.
Bits 2 to 7 are reserved.
Bits 8 to 15 are undefined.
Description A short description of the subset, delimited by single quotation marks (''); for example, 'Document Building Tools'
The subset descriptors must be listed in the order in which the subsets are to be installed by setld.
RESTRICTIONS
Comments in the subset descriptor section will cause serious problems when encountered by the kits program.
TAB formatting in the subset descriptors is tightly enforced by the kits program.
EXAMPLES
The following example illustrates the key file for a hypothetical product kit: # Key file for the Orpheus Document Building Tools kit
# # Product-level attributes. # NAME='Orpheus Authoring Tools' CODE=OAT VERS=100 MI=OAT00.mi ROOT=0 COMPRESS=1 # # Subset def-
initions follow. # %% OATDCB100 . 0 'Document Building Tools' OATDCBDOC100 . 2 'Document Tools Documenta-
tion'
