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.

Majority of the questions are pertaining file/string parsing w.r.t

It would be nice to have these two as their own sub category under shell-programming-scripting which can avoid lot of duplicate posts. (1 Reply)

nl
nl(1) User Commands nl(1)NAME
nl - line numbering filter
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/nl [-p] [-b [type]] [-d [delim]] [-f [type]]
[-h [type]] [-i [incr]] [-l [num]] [-n [format]]
[-s [sep]] [-w [width]] [-v [startnum]] [file]
/usr/xpg4/bin/nl [-p] [-b type] [-d delim] [-f type]
[-h type] [-i incr] [-l num] [-n format] [-s sep]
[-w width] [-v startnum] [file]
DESCRIPTION
The nl utility reads lines from the named file, or the standard input if no file is named, and reproduces the lines on the standard output.
Lines are numbered on the left in accordance with the command options in effect.
nl views the text it reads in terms of logical pages. Line numbering is reset at the start of each logical page. A logical page consists of
a header, a body, and a footer section. Empty sections are valid. Different line numbering options are independently available for header,
body, and footer. For example, -bt (the default) numbers non-blank lines in the body section and does not number any lines in the header
and footer sections.
The start of logical page sections are signaled by input lines containing nothing but the following delimiter character(s):
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| Line contents | Start Of |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|::: |header |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|:: |body |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|: |footer |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
Unless optioned otherwise, nl assumes the text being read is in a single logical page body.
OPTIONS
Command options may appear in any order and may be intermingled with an optional file name. Only one file may be named. The specified
default is used when the option is not entered on the command line. /usr/xpg4/bin/nl options require option arguments. A SPACE character
may separate options from option arguments. /usr/bin/nl options may have option arguments. If option-arguments of /usr/bin/nl options are
not specified, these options result in the default. The supported options are:
-btype Specifies which logical page body lines are to be numbered. Recognized types and their meanings are:
a number all lines
t number all non-empty lines.
n no line numbering
pexp number only lines that contain the regular expression specified in exp. See NOTES below.
Default type for logical page body is t (text lines numbered).
-ftype Same as -btype except for footer. Default type for logical page footer is n (no lines numbered).
-ddelim The two delimiter characters specifying the start of a logical page section may be changed from the default characters (:)
to two user-specified characters. If only one character is entered, the second character remains the default character (:).
No space should appear between the -d and the delimiter characters. To enter a backslash, use two backslashes.
-htype Same as -btype except for header. Default type for logical page header is n (no lines numbered).
-iincr incr is the increment value used to number logical page lines. Default incr is 1.
-lnum num is the number of blank lines to be considered as one. For example, -l2 results in only the second adjacent blank being
numbered (if the appropriate -ha, -ba, and/or -fa option is set). Default num is 1.
-nformat format is the line numbering format. Recognized values are:
ln left justified, leading zeroes suppressed
rn right justified, leading zeroes suppressed
rz right justified, leading zeroes kept
Default format is rn (right justified).
-p Do not restart numbering at logical page delimiters.
-ssep sep is the character(s) used in separating the line number and the corresponding text line. Default sep is a TAB.
-vstartnum startnum is the initial value used to number logical page lines. Default startnum is 1.
-wwidth width is the number of characters to be used for the line number. Default width is 6.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
file A path name of a text file to be line-numbered.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 An example of the nl command
The command:
example% nl -v10 -i10 -d!+ filename1
will cause the first line of the page body to be numbered 10, the second line of the page body to be numbered 20, the third 30, and so
forth. The logical page delimiters are !+.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of nl: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE,
LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.

used if the following two conditions are met:
o /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_COLLATE/CollTable is present.
o /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_COLLATE/coll.so is not present.
Otherwise, Simple Regular Expressions are used.
