$ more employee.txt
It doesn’t look like the sed statement is doing anything with it. Should the (gender) be replaced with something else? What should I expect the data to look like out of sed and into awk which I am more comfortable with?
I am interested getting a solution with all everyone’s help.
Thanks again,
George

Hi,
Below are some more attempts to figure out how your SED & AWK statements work:
## Returned the same list & order
## Returned the same list & order
## Returned the same list & order
## Awk is not getting the right output from SED
## Same input to AWK as from SED
I suspect the problem is from
but I am still trying to wrap my head around it.
Also, what is the purpose of the round brackets () around gender, & and *? The sed statement appears to be doing a global replacement of (gender) with &* even though I not clear whether the gender should be replaced with something else?
Thanks a lot,
George

As part of a bigger task, I had to read thru a file and separate records into various batches based on a field. Specifically, separate records based on the value in the batch field as defined below. The batch field left-justified numbers.
