Welcome
santoshkm,
I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
- What have you tried so far?
- What output/errors do you get?
- Can you show us the data piped through od -x so we can see the character codes? Having the original data on the next line would be useful too.
- What OS and version are you using?
- What are your preferred tools? (C, shell, perl, awk, etc.)
- What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)
Most importantly,
What have you tried so far?
There are probably many ways to achieve most tasks, so giving us an idea of your style and thoughts will help us guide you to an answer most suitable to you so you can adjust it to suit your needs in future.
We're all here to learn and getting the relevant information will help us all.
Thanks, in advance,
Robin
