Is there a way using grep or cat a file to create a new file based on whether the first 9 positions of each record is less than 399999999?

This is a fixed file format.

Please help. I am adding 2 fields which are both positive and the result is negative. What am I missing?


FileEHash=`expr ${Field1} + ${Field2}` >/dev/null

Thanks for your help vgersh99!!

Hi vgersh99,

I still need you. My problem is the date in the log file is formatted as such: 02/25/2009 so I think the sed command is confused. It says
sed: Unrecognized command: /02/25/2009/...

thank you , I'm working on it but I have a bad substitution going on. Do I still output to a new file because I do not want to replace what is in the original file.

fgrep"${getdate}"${PROCESSOR}${LOGINID}/Sum_SCR_Records.${YEAR}.log

maybe this wil help

fgrep 02242009 /u/customer/ski/Sum_SCR_Records.2009.log

PROCESSOR is passed here from another...

Result - need to add client

Client, Batch, Number of Items, Amount

fgrep"${getdate}"${PROCESSOR${LOGINID}/Sum_SCR_Records.${YEAR}.log
> ${results} 2>/dev/null
The above outputs multiple entries for the date desired (same client can have mulitple entries). There...

Joey,
Your instructions were very clear and worked perfectly. You've made my day as I've been working on trying to figure this out for awhile.
Have a Great Day!

Good Morning,
Newbie here. Could someone help with shell scripting that will enable me to combine 2 fields into one eliminating the white space. The fields are fixed but the data of course varies....
