A few questions first:-
- Would you want this coded in shell script entirely so you could add more things into the loop, or would an awk one-liner be okay?
- Do you have data in fixed width columns? If so, what are the requirements?
- What OS are you using? Some commands can be flavour or even version specific.
- What shell are you using? ksh, bash, csh perhaps?
- Why does the row starting D not have an 8 in Col4?
Okay, ignore that last one.
I'm trying to understand if you want to have a one-off conversion of the file or are you wanting to perform some action using the data on each line as you go.
Thanks, in advance,
