Thanks Bipin .. Though My Requirement is quite big.
I mean.. Suppose I have 1500 character data length for say 100 columns file and having length for all columns (as defined earlier example - not fixed) out of which -
say 1200 character are fixed length for say 70 columns and remaining 30 columns are having variable length. Now as mentioned in previous example -
Maximum length of all columns will be 1500
and least will be 1200.
Now I have to separate all these 100 columns with a delimiter and require some automation (Cause I have a situation where I need to separate 900 columns), as defining substring every time doesn't seems feasible.
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi experts.
I got a file (500mb max) and need to pivot it (loading into ORCL) and change BLANK delimiter to PIPE |.
Sometimes there are multipel BLANKS (as a particular value may be BLANK, or simply two BLANKS instead of one BLANK).
thanks for your input!

colrm
COLRM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLRM(1)NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read
from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec-
ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
