Removing whitespace from files
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to write a script to do the following:
turn a file that contains:
1234 Kevin Smith 12:09 456235
1234 John Robger 12:09:09 353657
into:
1234%Kevin%Smith%12:09%456235
1234%John%Robger%12:09:09%353657
So far I can use sed to replace all the whitespace characters with % but I end up with
1234%%%%%%%%Kevin%%%%%%%%%%Smith%%%%%%12:09%%%%%456235
But I only want one % to seperate the fields.
Thanks.

app::clusterssh::host
App::ClusterSSH::Host(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation App::ClusterSSH::Host(3pm)
NAME
ClusterSSH::Host - Object representing a host.
SYNOPSIS
use ClusterSSH::Host;
my $host = ClusterSSH::Host->new({
hostname => 'hostname',
});
my $host = ClusterSSH::Host->parse_host_string('username@hostname:1234');
DESCRIPTION
Object representing a host. Include details to contact the host such as hostname/ipaddress, username and port.
METHODS
$host=ClusterSSH::Host->new ({ hostname => 'hostname' })
Create a new host object. 'hostname' is a required arg, 'username' and 'port' are optional. Raises exception if an error occurs.
$host->get_hostname
$host->get_username
$host->get_port
$host->get_master
Return specific details about the host
$host->set_username
$host->set_port
$host->set_master
Set specific details about the host after its been created.
get_realname
If the server name provided is not an IP address (either IPv4 or IPv6) attempt to resolve it and retun the discovered names.
get_givenname
Alias to get_hostname, for use when " get_realname " might return something different
parse_host_string
Given a host string, returns a host object. Parses hosts such as
check_ssh_hostname
Check the objects hostname to see whether or not it may be configured within the users $HOME/.ssh/config configuration file
host
192.168.0.1
user@host
user@192.168.0.1
host:port
[1234:1234:1234::4567]:port
1234:1234:1234::4567
and so on. Cope with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses - raises a warning if the IPv6 address is ambiguous (i.e. in the last example, is the
4567 part of the IPv6 address or a port definition?) and assumes it is part of address. Use brackets to avoid seeing warning.
