Records which are staring with double quote(") and a number
Hi Experts...

I am trying to find out separting the records which are staring with double quote(") and a six digit number(ex: 012456,987654,etc) from a file.

For example :

Source File :

Code:
 
"116462","SMITH CHEVR
"164098","SIMPS
"104498","SIMPSONVIL

"Export lments"
"Copyrts rerved."
"Cion - Dxyabcfdse"

output file should look like

Code:
"116462","SMITH CHEVR
"164498","SIMPS
"164498","SIMPSONVIL

Can you please help...

Thankyou!

Should this record be matched as well ?

Code:
"12345678","TEST"

It starts with a double quote followed by six digits, and hence it satisfies the conditions you posted.

In other words, must there be a double quote character at the 8th position ?

It contains a double quote (") at 8th position.
