I need a ksh script for the below requirement:
i have a Delimited flat file with 200 records delimiter is '|~|'
i need a script to insert space at the end if the record is ending with delimiter '|~|'
if it didnt end with delimiter it should not append space.
Example: ram|~|2|~| ---space should be appended
shyam|~|2|~|4 ----space should not be appended
please help me with this i need the complete script.
Thank you!
Just to get the requirement right, are you looking to create a fixed width output file?
If you have the data you suggest:-
Code:
ram|~|2|~|
shylam|~|2|~|4
... then you could pass this through sed to add trailing space, but how much do you want? A single character perhaps or pad to a fixed length?
Hoping I can help,

I wanted to know if there is a way to add a footer to a flat file that is being extracted by a sql query. so if the query extracts 1000 rows, in the flat file it appends the last line as 1000.
Is there a way to do so?
Thanks (1 Reply)

Please help me on this. (4 Replies)
Hi,
We receive flat files with fixed width data
Now our goal is append from right null or space to each record if the lenght of the record is less than for example 10.
for example
123 45 6 0
123 45
123 45 6
123
and output should be
123 45 6 0
123 45****
123 45 6**... (7 Replies)

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
