Subtract 100 from first field in long list? Simple manipulation?
It sounds so easy to do.
I have a file thats laid out like this..
number text text text text (etc about 15 times with various text fields)
I want to take the first field, "number", subtract 100 from it, and then put it back in the file. a simple little manipulation of the first field in the file.
is there an easy way to do this?
So if it looks like
14523 a b c d e f
24245 g h i j k l
it would end up being
14423 a b c d e f
24145 g h i j k

example:
0000001234
0000123456
0000234566
0000000321
output:
001234
