I have a large dat file where each lines are pipe delimited values. I need to parse the file depending on the request. For example: sometimes I have told to remove all the values in the 7th column (this case remove values '3333' only from the first line and '3543' from the second line) from the file. As the file contains thousands of lines, I need to find a way that can be done easily. I know it can be done by sed or perl but with my limited knowledge I am not able to figured it out.
Note that from time to time I need to remove values from nth column.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

io::async::protocol::linestream
IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream(3pm)NAME
"IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream" - stream-based protocols using lines of text
SYNOPSIS
Most likely this class will be subclassed to implement a particular network protocol.
package Net::Async::HelloWorld;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw( IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream );
sub on_read_line
{
my $self = shift;
my ( $line ) = @_;
if( $line =~ m/^HELLO (.*)/ ) {
my $name = $1;
$self->invoke_event( on_hello => $name );
}
}
sub send_hello
{
my $self = shift;
my ( $name ) = @_;
$self->write_line( "HELLO $name" );
}
This small example elides such details as error handling, which a real protocol implementation would be likely to contain.
DESCRIPTION EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:
on_read_line $line
Invoked when a new complete line of input is received.
PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":
on_read_line => CODE
CODE reference for the "on_read_line" event.
METHODS
$lineprotocol->write_line( $text )
Writes a line of text to the transport stream. The text will have the end-of-line marker appended to it; $text should not end with it.
