HP-UX

Thanks for the code provided by k_manimuthu

Thanks a lot for the details CTSGNB

I m trying to use the below code to handle the file having 128 columns, its basically delete new line characters occurs in between 127.

Code:

Code:

echo `/usr/xpg4/bin/grep -vE "^[:blank:]*$" in | sed 's|^\([0-9]\)|:\1|;s|\([0-9]\)$|\127:|' | tr '\n' ' '`|
  sed 's|: *:|:|g' | awk -F: '{print$0}' RS=:

Please correct me if i m doing wrong.

When i execute the above code i m getting error like below .

Error

Code:

ksh: 21555 Memory fault(coredump)

Where exactly we are mentioning the delimeter used in file , suppose if my file is pipe (|) delimiter , where to change the code.

Kindly provide me the information to use above code.

Thanks in Advance .

Regards,
Kari

Nope, the s|\([0-9]\)$|\127:| just says if a lines ended by a figure between 0 and 9 then, append '27:'

so a lines like
.....0
.....1
.....2
.....3
.....4
...
.....9
after this substitution will look like
.....027:
.....127:
.....227:
.....327:
.....427:
...
.....927:
... which is not what you really expect ...

Maybe try this

Code:

FLAG=0
grep -vE "^[:blank:]*$" input | { while read line
do
( echo "$line" | grep ^[0-9] >/dev/null 2>&1 ) && FLAG=1
if ! ( echo "$line" | grep [0-9]$ >/dev/null 2>&1 ) && [ $FLAG -ne 0 ]
then
        printf "%s " $line
else
        echo "$line"
fi
done } >output
