Hello,
I need an awk script to receive a variable that's an decimal value such as 009 or 031 and then convert this value to an ascii character to use as the FS (field separator for the input file).
For example,
009 should be converted to an ascii tab
031 should be converted to an ascii... (1 Reply)

iconv_substr
ICONV_SUBSTR(3) 1 ICONV_SUBSTR(3)iconv_substr - Cut out part of a stringSYNOPSIS
string iconv_substr (string $str, int $offset, [int $length = iconv_strlen($str, $charset)], [string $charset = ini_get("iconv.inter-
nal_encoding")])
DESCRIPTION
Cuts a portion of $str specified by the $offset and $length parameters.
PARAMETERS
o $str
- The original string.
o $offset
- If $offset is non-negative, iconv_substr(3) cuts the portion out of $str beginning at $offset'th character, counting from zero.
If $offset is negative, iconv_substr(3) cuts out the portion beginning at the position, $offset characters away from the end of
$str.
o $length
- If $length is given and is positive, the return value will contain at most $length characters of the portion that begins at
$offset (depending on the length of $string). If negative $length is passed, iconv_substr(3) cuts the portion out of $str from
the $offset'th character up to the character that is $length characters away from the end of the string. In case $offset is also
negative, the start position is calculated beforehand according to the rule explained above.
o $charset
- If $charset parameter is omitted, $string are assumed to be encoded in iconv.internal_encoding. Note that $offset and $length
parameters are always deemed to represent offsets that are calculated on the basis of the character set determined by $charset,
whilst the counterpart substr(3) always takes these for byte offsets.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the portion of $str specified by the $offset and $length parameters.
If $str is shorter than $offset characters long, FALSE will be returned.
