Hi jim mcnamara,

Thanks for the reply,
we are using redhat 7 version and tried using sed command.
The flatfile data have carriage of new line for some of the columns, in that scenarios sed replacement is not working.

Sample Code :

Code:
### change Double Quote value (") change to double double quote (""). 
sed  -i 's/"/""/g;s/\\b^""""|^|\b\/""""/"""/g; s/\\b|^|""""\b\/""""/"""/g' $Inpufile
#### Add envlose character double quote value for each column
sed  -i 's/|^^|""/|^^|"/g; s/""|^^|/"|^^|/g' $Inpufile
##remove " value in begin and end of each row###########
sed -i  's/^""/"/;s/""$/"/' $Inpufile

please advise easiest way to replace double quote values inside the string for each column.

Thanks,

PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3)

NAME
PPI::Token::Quote::Double - A standard "double quote" token INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::Quote::Double isa PPI::Token::Quote isa PPI::Token isa PPI::Element DESCRIPTION
A "PPI::Token::Quote::Double" object represents a double-quoted interpolating string. The string is treated as a single entity, PPI will not try to understand what is in the string during the parsing process. METHODS
There are several methods available for "PPI::Token::Quote::Double", beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::Quote, PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes. Got any ideas for methods? Submit a report to rt.cpan.org! interpolations The interpolations method checks to see if the double quote actually contains any interpolated variables. Returns true if the string contains interpolations, or false if not. simplify For various reasons, some people find themselves compelled to have their code in the simplest form possible. The "simply" method will turn a simple double-quoted string into the equivalent single-quoted string. If the double can be simplified, it will be modified in place and returned as a convenience, or returns false if the string cannot be simplified. SUPPORT
