Oracle Search comppare replace (substr/lppad)
Hi Everyone,

I have a data file with data as below which contains millions of data and gets loaded to database using SQL loader using positional notation.
Code:
AT    0001      000000000100000000000
BE    4         000000000000030000000
DE    0055      000004000000000000000
FR    0         000000000000000110000
CZ    003       000330000000050000000

for eg: pos 7 to 10 will yield
Code:
0001
4   
0055
0   
003

My requirement is to lpad to 4 digits if the string 7-10 is having length < 4 chars.

the output should be like as below.
Code:
AT    0001      000000000100000000000
BE    0004      000000000000030000000
DE    0055      000004000000000000000
FR    0000      000000000000000110000
CZ    0003      000330000000050000000

Already burnt a lot of midnight oil for this and what i could able to do is the below.
Code:
awk '{print substr($0,7,4) }' /tmp/BKP_PIX_STG_MAST_200205110.dat

followed by sed which is not giving proper result.

I will really be grateful if anyone can focus some insight or guide me in this regard.

Many Thanks...

locale::script

Locale::Script(3perl)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				     Locale::Script(3perl)

NAME

       Locale::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. The ones currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA".

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       numeric
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC".

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes man page.
