It seemed that I had \r\n at the end of the line and I replaced it with \n but the outputs are still the same.
This is what I get when I write
Code:
head file | od -bc
(the lines are actually longer so this is adapted to my sample file)
Code:
0000000 147 156 141 141 143 137 144 141 147 137 163 165 142 155 151 164
a b c _ b l a _ s u b m i t
0000020 040 055 147 167 145 145 153 040 070 060 062 040 012 147 156 141
- d e f 8 0 0 \n a b c
0000040 141 143 137 144 141 147 137 163 165 142 155 151 164 040 055 147
_ b l a etc.
Let us be clear here. The above display is not sample output from any file. The above display is not adapted output from any file. The above output is contrived output that is intended to confuse anyone who might want to help you solve your problem.
If RudiC's guess (like mine), is that the octal byte values show real data and the character values have been concocted to confuse us, then the code RudiC suggested may solve your problem. If it doesn't please show us the complete, real output from the head piped through od command I gave you so we have a chance of figuring out what is really going on.
The fake data that you did show us does not include any line that has a 0 at the end of a line (even if we ignore trailing <space>s. The only complete line shown in the seemingly real od output you concocted ends with a decimal digit 2 followed by a <space>. Guessing that all other lines in your input file (except the last one) also have trailing <space>(s) from a sample of a single concocted input line is a seemingly good guess, but it certainly isn't anything that we can rely on.

We are here to help you learn how to solve your programming problems. Posting inconsistent fake data in no way helps you reach your goal. It only shows that you intend to confuse those of us who are trying to help you.
Posting inconsistent fake data again could be interpreted as a request to be banned from this site.
Please help us help you by giving us honest answers to the questions we ask. We don't ask these questions for our amusement; we ask them because they give us data we need to be able to help you. Showing us inconsistent, fake data tells us that you do not want our help and, instead, just want to waste our time.

I have a file with a few thousand lines and I'd like to remove all the lines that have more than 1 asterik (the * character) in it. So if it has 2 or more in a single line, I'd like the line removed (double d command in vi) (12 Replies)
I have a '~' delimited file of 6 - 7 million rows. Each row should contain 13 columns delimited by 12 ~'s. Where there are 13 tildes, the row needs to be removed. Each row contains alphanumeric data and occasionally a ~ ends up in a descriptive field and therefore acts as a delimiter, resulting... (7 Replies)
