Thank you Rudic, seems it is working, but it is not working if the value is comma separated.
<Eg:2,333,555> and it is working for <5.77>
Of course it isn't. You said your input file was separated by | field delimiters; not by comma delimiters. That is why RudiC gave you code that started with:
Code:
awk -F'|'
If you're going to change the field delimiter, you have to change the field delimiter in the code that will be processing your new input file format too.
Sorry Guys for not being able to explain in one of my earlier post.
I am now putting my requirement with the input file and desired output file.
In the below input file -
Transaction code is at position 31:40.

Hi,
So awk is driving me crazy on this one. I have searched everywhere and read man, docs and every related post Google can find and still no luck.

getfields
GETFIELDS(2) System Calls Manual GETFIELDS(2)NAME
getfields, getmfields, setfields, tokenize - break a string into fields
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
int getfields(char *str, char **ptrs, int nptrs)
int getmfields(char *str, char **ptrs, int nptrs)
char* setfields(char *fielddelim)
int tokenize(char *str, char **args, int max)
DESCRIPTION
Getfields breaks the null-terminated string str into at most nptrs null-terminated fields and places pointers to the start of these fields
in the array ptrs. It returns the number of fields and terminates the list of pointers with a zero pointer. It overwrites some of the
bytes in str. If there are nptr or more fields, the list will not end with zero and the last `field' will extend to the end of the input
string and may contain delimiters.
A field is defined as a maximal sequence of characters not in a set of field delimiters. Adjacent fields are separated by exactly one
delimiter. No field follows a delimiter at the end of string. Thus a string of just two delimiter characters contains two empty fields,
and a nonempty string with no delimiters contains one field.
Getmfields is the same as getfields except that fields are separated by maximal strings of field delimiters rather than just one.
Setfields makes the field delimiters (space and tab by default) be the characters of the string fielddelim and returns a pointer to a
string of the previous delimiters.
Tokenize breaks null-terminated string str into tokens by replacing every blank or newline with a null byte. Pointers to successive non-
empty tokens are placed in args. Processing stops after max tokens are processed. Tokenize returns the number of tokens processed. Tok-
enize does not terminate args with a null pointer.
Alef
Of these routines, only tokenize is in Alef.
