Hello,

My input files are having header/body/footer. The first three digits finds whether the data is header/body/footer. For example,

Code:
010AAAAA 20100507 234KB BBBBBBBBBB_20100506.DAT
020CCCCC                     DDDDDDDDD         373983983           19750426           456.90               3983939EE
020FFFFF                     GGGGGGGGG         38938993H           19801102           783.33               DKJFDKJ983
030END OF FILE TOTAL 39839.22

From the above file, there is a date of birth in body (=020). I want to remove/substitute the dateofbirth with spaces. Like, 19750426 is the date of birth but want to substiute as spaces "1#7#0#2#". Want to do this same in all records in the file. Can you please tell me how to do this in shell script?

Code:
The content of the file is,
From 1 to 3 = RECORD_TYPE
From 4 to 40 = NAME
From 41 to 80 = DESIGNATION
and so on.

A small change in my previous post. Instead of substitue the spaces, need to fill every 2nd character as # in the Date of Birth field.

NAME
Xymon web page headers, footers and forms. DESCRIPTION
The Xymon webpages are somewhat customizable, by modifying the header- and footer-templates found in the ~xymon/server/web/ directory. There are usually two or more files for a webpage: A template_header file which is the header for this webpage, and a template_footer file which is the footer. Webpages where entry forms are used have a template_form file which is the data-entry form. With the exception of the bulletin files, the header files are inserted into the HTML code at the very beginning and the footer files are inserted at the bottom. The following templates are available: bulletin A bulletin_header and bulletin_footer is not shipped with Xymon, but if they exist then the content of these files will be inserted in all HTML documents generated by Xymon. The "bulletin_header" contents will appear after the normal header for the webpage, and the "bulletin_footer" will appear just before the normal footer for the webpage. These files can be used to post important informa- tion about the Xymon system, e.g. to notify users of current operational or monitoring problems. acknowledge Header, footer and form template for the Xymon acknowledge alert webpage generated by bb-ack.cgi(1) bb Header and footer for the Xymon Main view webpages, generated by bbgen(1) bb2 Header and footer for the Xymon All non-green view webpage, generated by bbgen(1) bbnk Header and footer for the now deprecated BBNK webpage, generated by bbgen. You should use the newer hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) utility instead, which uses the hobbitnk templates. bbrep Header and footer for the Xymon Main view availability report webpages, generated by bbgen(1) when running in availability report mode. bbsnap Header and footer for the Xymon Main view snapshot webpages, generated by bbgen(1) when running in snapshot report mode. bbsnap2 Header and footer for the Xymon All non-green view snapshot webpage, generated by bbgen(1) when running in snapshot report mode. columndoc Header and footer for the Xymon Column documentation webpages, generated by the bb-csvinfo.cgi(1) utility in the default Xymon con- figuration. confreport Header and footer for the Xymon Configuration report webpage, generated by the hobbit-confreport.cgi(1) utility.
