Network script to delete one digit.

Hi User,

I have a text file with a lot of customer records (over 10,000). Each record contained one field called "charge" and it must start with some space (each record may have 15 space, 17 spece, 9 space,etc, then start with <charge> and end with </charge>, in between is a value.

How can I delete the value if more than 1 digit?
For example:
Code:
record 1
                          <charge>0</charge>
output:
                          <charge>0</charge>

record 2:
                       <charge>8431</charge>
output:
                       <charge>843</charge>
record 3:
                           <charge>19</charge>
output:
                           <charge>1</charge>

Please help!

Many Thx!!
Smilie

CAP_MKDB(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       CAP_MKDB(1)

NAME
cap_mkdb -- create capability database SYNOPSIS
cap_mkdb [-v] [-f outfile] file1 [file2 ...] DESCRIPTION
Cap_mkdb builds a hashed database out of the getcap(3) logical database constructed by the concatenation of the specified files . The database is named by the basename of the first file argument and the string ``.db''. The getcap(3) routines can access the database in this form much more quickly than they can the original text file(s). The ``tc'' capabilities of the records are expanded before the record is stored into the database. The options as as follows: -f outfile Specify a different database basename. -v Print out the number of capability records in the database. FORMAT
Each record is stored in the database using two different types of keys. The first type is a key which consists of the first capability of the record (not including the trailing colon (``:'')) with a data field consisting of a special byte followed by the rest of the record. The special byte is either a 0 or 1, where a 0 means that the record is okay, and a 1 means that there was a ``tc'' capability in the record that couldn't be expanded. The second type is a key which consists of one of the names from the first capability of the record with a data field consisting a special byte followed by the the first capability of the record. The special byte is a 2. In normal operation names are looked up in the database, resulting in a key/data pair of the second type. The data field of this key/data pair is used to look up a key/data pair of the first type which has the real data associated with the name. RETURN VALUE
The cap_mkdb utility exits 0 on success and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
