I'm having trouble in creating a logic when it comes to replacing the values inside a file.
I tried using sed command but it just doesn't work the way I want it to be.
Here is what I'm trying to achieve.
If my input file contains the values below.
And I want to replace "GUEST1 " with "GUEST" without changing the number of characters placed on that field. Meaning if the segment has 10 characters, it will still remain 10 characters regardless of the value placed.
Is this possible?
Thank you so much in advance for any tips and recommendations.
