Find and Replace random numeric value with non-numeric value
Can someone tell me how to change the first column in a very large 17k line file from a random 10 digit numeric value to a non numeric value. The format of lines in the file is:
1702938475,SNU022,201004
the first 10 numbers always begin with 170
