Hi Unix Champs,
I want to awk on a fixed length file.
Instead if the file was a delimited file, then I could have used -F and then could have easily done manipulation on the fields.
How do i do the same in case of fixed length file?
Thanks in Advance.

OK I am somewhat new to UNIX programming please see what you can do to help.
I have a flat file that is a fixed length file containing different records based on the 1st character of each line. The 1st number at the beginning of the line is the record number, in this case it's record #1.

Hi, all.
I need to convert a file tab delimited/variable length file in AIX to a fixed lenght file delimited by spaces. This is the input file:
10200002<tab>US$ COM<tab>16/12/2008<tab>2,3775<tab>2,3783
19300978<tab>EURO<tab>16/12/2008<tab>3,28523<tab>3,28657

I have a number of unix text files containing fixed-length records (normal unix linefeed terminator) where I need to find odd records which are an incorrect length.
The data is not validated and records can contain odd backslash characters and control characters which makes them awkward to process... (2 Replies)
Need a script that manipulates a fixed length file that will compare 2 fields in that file and if they are equal write that line to a new file.
i.e. If fields 87-93 = fields 119-125, then write the entire line to a new file. Do this for every line in the file. After we get only the fields... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am in a situation to print the message on a column, where the each line starting position should be same.
For example code:
HOSTNAME1="1.2.3.4.5.6.7"
TARGET_DIR="/tmp"
echo "HOSTNAME1:" "$HOSTNAME1" | awk -v var="Everyone" '{len=55-length;printf("%s%*s\n",$0,len,var)}'

Hi Forum.
I have the following script that splits a large fixed-width file into smaller multiple fixed-width files based on input segment type.
The main command in the script is:
awk -v search_col_pos=$search_col_pos -v search_str_len=$search_str_len -v segment_type="$segment_type"... (8 Replies)
Hi ,
I am having a scenario where I need to split the file based on two field values. The file is a fixed length file.
ex:

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
