If I understand right, you want to split long lines into fields a certain positions. If so, this might help

Code:
awk '
BEGIN { OFS="," } 
{
    print substr ($0, 1, 1),
          substr ($0, 2, 12),
          substr ($0, 14, 4),
          substr (...etc...);
}' $filename >output.csv

Replace one digit by two digit using sed

Folks, Is there a simple way to replace one digit by two digit using sed. Example, mydigit1918_2006_8_8_lag1.csv should be mydigit1918_2006_08_08_lag01.csv. I tried this way, but doesn't work. echo mydigit1989_2006_8_8_lag1.csv|sed 's/]/0]/' Thank you, (5 Replies)

perl::critic::policy::builtinfunctions::prohibitlvaluesubstr

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSuUser(Contributed Perl DocPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr(3pm)

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr - Use 4-argument "substr" instead of writing "substr($foo, 2, 6) = $bar".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Conway discourages the use of "substr()" as an lvalue, instead recommending that the 4-argument version of "substr()" be used instead.

	   substr($something, 1, 2) = $newvalue;     # not ok
	   substr($something, 1, 2, $newvalue);      # ok

       The four-argument form of "substr()" was introduced in Perl 5.005.  This policy does not report violations on code which explicitly
       specifies an earlier version of Perl (e.g. "use 5.004;").

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

SEE ALSO

       "substr" in perlfunc (or "perldoc -f substr").

       "4th argument to substr" in perl5005delta
