Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Remove Carriage returns between strings in a field Post 81950 by acheepi on Thursday 25th of August 2005 12:06:58 PM

Thanks a lot for all your inputs. The below code soles the problem with the example I had given. When the data had double quotes...

{ record = record $0
# If number of quotes is odd, continue reading record.
if ( gsub( /"/, "&", record ) % 2 )
{ record = record " "
next
}
}
{ print record
record = ""
}

The tr \\n " " removes all the new lines and forms a one big record. I don't want this to happen.

Thanks again everybody.

Although the request may use the server's assigned short name, the response must always be the full URI. recordData() The record itself, either as a string or embedded XML. If would like to pass an object in here you may do so as long as it imlements the asXML() method. recordPacking() The packing used in recordData, as requested by the client or the default: "XML". recordPosition() The position of the record within the result set. If you don't pass this in recordPosition will be automaticlly calculated for you when add or retrieve a record from a SRU::Response::SearchRetrieve object. extraRecordData() Any extra data associated with the record.
