remove the special characters and move the file into another server
Quote:
Hi,
I have a file which contains comma delimiter data.
1)
Sample_data.txt
"Emp_ID","Filename","Ename","desc","code"
"2222","sample_data.txt","abc","BBBB","7776"
"2222","sample_data.txt","Kbc","KKKK","7774"
Based on the last column i am going to generate the new file with the following convention. Once the file is generated i am moving to another directory.
Emp_Information_$Ename_$desc_$code.csv
Output filename is
Emp_Information_Kbc_KKKK_7774.csv
But I am having some problem with the data. As I am getting the data in the below format
"Emp_ID","Filename","Ename","desc","code"
"2222","sample_data.txt","abc","BBBB","7776"
"2222","sample_data.txt","dbc","EE&EE","7779"
Emp_Information_dbc_EE&EE_7779.csv
I am able to generate a file but i am unable to move the file from one directory to another directory because As it is having & charter in the file name so it will treated as a UNIX command. I want to move this file to another server.
Quote:
2. I want to identify in the column how many special charters are present. I want to remove all the special charters [*,&,{,},(,),^,*] in the columns.
Example:
“Desc”
"B_BB&B"
"A&AA*A"
"C,CC^C"
"K)KK$K$^"
OUTPUT
"BBBB"
"AAAA"
"CCCC"
"KKKK"
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks suresh
