Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Replacing character "|" in given character range Post 302903366 by RudiC on Tuesday 27th of May 2014 06:34:03 AM

Sorry, that description doesn't help either. You say the third field is 3 chars long, but your line holds 4 chars: X96 . Same for field 7. And between field 8 and 9 an entire field is missing: GB in your line is not reflected. So which one should we rely on?
BTW - can't you address the problem at the root and persuade the generating application to use different field separators?

That is, the start of each line will be butted up against the left hand side of the field. JUSTIFY_CENTER The field will be centre justified, padding will be applied to either end of the line to make the line centred in the field. RETURN VALUES
