Thank you so much for your reply! Also happy new year!
I am attempting to get this particular line of code to work but every time I run it with Command Prompt (after installing awk on this machine) it spits out a blank file. I have name script "nodesTwo" and in command prompt (in order to invoke the script) I am typing the following (Where ShapeData.txt is the file I am running the script on and ShapeDataFixed.txt is the intended output file)
Code:
awk nodesTwo ShapeData.txt>ShapeDataFixed.txt
Also!
In the line of code that you so kindly provided, there is an 'f' following the word 'print' just before RS}'
Was this a typo or is this required? is this telling the script to print file?
Thanks again! Your knowledge and experience is very much appreciated
I also tried to place ShapeData.txt>ShapeDataFixed.txt into the awk script itself and run the script but the command prompt just hangs and seems to be doing nothing...
Your beautiful example in practice (EX
When I attempt to run this entire line (instead of just invoking the script inside the command prompt, I am given a (the system cannot find the file specified) despite it being inside the same directory of the currently executing script?
So sorry for the basic vibes I'm giving off! I've never used awk before this!
So any and all help is so so appreciated Thank you for your time and patience!

This is excellent! So appreciative to have another approach to this issue Linux Thank you for your suggestion and example! Both are gorgeous!
I try and run the script on a specific file in the directory of the executing script and it is giving me a "line 2: unterminated 's' command" I'm having trouble locating where the particular s command is! so many /'s and \'s!
Also!
Maybe I am not executing the script correctly? I hope I am!
I am running it with
sed -f nodes.sed
where 'nodes.sed' is the name of the file I would like the script to execute on (this file is in the same directory as the script)
Any and all help is appreciated!
