What awk 1-liner will replace value in 1stField of a delimited file with the value of '5' ?
Hi,
I am a newbie to awk. Here is my problem. Looking for an awk 1-liner to solve it:
My Computing Environment:
- Solaris10
- I prefer to use csh or sh shells
1. Lets say my input file is File1.dat (delimter = | ) and looks as follows:
(File1.dat)
2. I want to create a 2nd file (an output file) named File2.dat, where i replace the value in the 1stField of every line with the value of '5', so that the File2.dat looks as follows:
(File2.dat)
Thanks in advance,
Notice the last delimiter | at the end of each record.
If you could please let me know what part of the awk-1liner syntax refers to the FieldNumber (in this case Field1) where we are doing this value-replace operation
