I have some data that must have been two lines at some point. If the string in one cell is longer than 78 characters, the 79th character is a blank space. This was probably a return that was converted to a space somewhere along the line. This data is processed by some code that replaces blank spaces with underscrore. The result is an underscore at the 79th position that does not belong there.
For example:
N-{[3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]amino}(2-hydroxyphenyl)carboxam_ide
These files have tens of thousands to hunderds of thousands of rows, so this definately calls for a script. Is there a way I can check the 79th character of each string and if it is _, delete it? I can copy the column to a file if that would be easier, otherwise I will have to tell the script which column to process.
Here is a short sample of one of the columns that I need to process:
If the string is <79 characters, it can be skipped.

Tcl_UtfToUpper(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_UtfToUpper(3)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
Tcl_UniCharToUpper, Tcl_UniCharToLower, Tcl_UniCharToTitle, Tcl_UtfToUpper, Tcl_UtfToLower, Tcl_UtfToTitle - routines for manipulating the
case of Unicode characters and UTF-8 strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_UniChar
Tcl_UniCharToUpper(ch)
Tcl_UniChar
Tcl_UniCharToLower(ch)
Tcl_UniChar
Tcl_UniCharToTitle(ch)
int
Tcl_UtfToUpper(str)
int
Tcl_UtfToLower(str)
int
Tcl_UtfToTitle(str)
ARGUMENTS
int ch (in) The Tcl_UniChar to be converted.
char *str (in/out) Pointer to UTF-8 string to be converted in place.
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The first three routines convert the case of individual Unicode characters:
If ch represents a lower-case character, Tcl_UniCharToUpper returns the corresponding upper-case character. If no upper-case character is
defined, it returns the character unchanged.
If ch represents an upper-case character, Tcl_UniCharToLower returns the corresponding lower-case character. If no lower-case character is
defined, it returns the character unchanged.
If ch represents a lower-case character, Tcl_UniCharToTitle returns the corresponding title-case character. If no title-case character is
defined, it returns the corresponding upper-case character. If no upper-case character is defined, it returns the character unchanged.
Title-case is defined for a small number of characters that have a different appearance when they are at the beginning of a capitalized
word.
The next three routines convert the case of UTF-8 strings in place in memory:
Tcl_UtfToUpper changes every UTF-8 character in str to upper-case. Because changing the case of a character may change its size, the byte
offset of each character in the resulting string may differ from its original location. Tcl_UtfToUpper writes a null byte at the end of
the converted string. Tcl_UtfToUpper returns the new length of the string in bytes. This new length is guaranteed to be no longer than
the original string length.
Tcl_UtfToLower is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns each character in the string into its lower-case equivalent.
Tcl_UtfToTitle is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns the first character in the string into its title-case equivalent and all fol-
lowing characters into their lower-case equivalents.
BUGS
At this time, the case conversions are only defined for the ISO8859-1 characters. Unicode characters above 0x00ff are not modified by
these routines.
