Cut

Sorry, I accidentally posted this in the advance forum first...

Hi, I'd like to use cut to remove the last field from a record

the original record is comma delimited with null as the 19th field. Example: field18,,field20

if I use
cut -d, -f1-19 file
the record ends with
field18,

but I'd like field19 to be shown also, like
field18,,

is there something I am missing, or should I just append a comma to the end of the record after removing field20 (the last field)

Thanks in advance,
kristy

LEARN ABOUT PHP

px_retrieve_record

PX_RETRIEVE_RECORD(3)													     PX_RETRIEVE_RECORD(3)

px_retrieve_record - Returns record of paradox database

SYNOPSIS

       array px_retrieve_record (resource  $pxdoc, int	$num, [int  $mode])

DESCRIPTION

	This  function	is  very similar to px_get_record(3) but uses internally a different approach to retrieve the data. It relies on pxlib for
       reading each single field value, which usually results in support for more field types.

       Note

	       This function is only available if pxlib >= 0.6.0 is used.

PARAMETERS

	      o $pxdoc
		- Resource identifier of the paradox database as returned by px_new(3).

	      o $num
		- The record number is an artificial number counting records in the order as they are stored in the database. The first record has
		number 0.

	      o $mode
		-  The optional $mode can be PX_KEYTOLOWER or PX_KEYTOUPPER in order to convert the keys into lower or upper case. If $mode is not
		passed or is 0, then the key will be exactly like the field name. The element values will contain the field  values.  NULL  values
		will  be  retained  and are different from 0.0, 0 or the empty string. Fields of type PX_FIELD_TIME will be returned as an integer
		counting the number of milliseconds starting at midnight. A timestamp is a floating point value also counting milliseconds  start-
		ing at the beginning of julian calendar.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the $num'th record from the paradox database. The record is returned as an associated array with its keys being the field names.
