Encryption of card number
i have a file with a : separated sections


Code:
ABC::2110.49:2110.49:31034050545::+DEF:FPT:2:N::::1:42.99:0.00:2008-07-11:CN:4658582030164342::1:N:afram:N:AI:00220600:S3FA'
XYZ:31034050694:3:::TFY:1:TL1::D:N:42.99:P:9:S:1:18.21:Y:0.00'
JKI:::OC::D:N:2.00::::2::Y::::::2008-07-11'

here 4658582030164342 is a card number(16 digits) i need to encrypt the number such that only first four and last six digit are
visible, that is the remaining six digit to be replaced by ******. that is
Code:
4658******164342

The output need to be
Code:
ABC::2110.49:2110.49:31034050545::+DEF:FPT:2:N::::1:42.99:0.00:2008-07-11:CN:4658******164342::1:N:afram:N:AI:00220600:S3FA'
XYZ:31034050694:3:::TFY:1:TL1::D:N:42.99:P:9:S:1:18.21:Y:0.00'
JKI:::OC::D:N:2.00::::2::Y::::::2008-07-11'

The card number only appears in the +DEF subsection.
There are several such sections that appear in the file apart from the other data.

To summarise the requirement is check for all the DEF subsection in the file look for 11th field (: separated within DEF) or 16 digit numeric in
DEF section if found encrypt card number as above.

Kindly Advice

Ex. using awk with -F : options.

Block rule something like
Code:
/+DEF.*:CN:/ { ... }

Scanning fields ex. using for
Code:
 cardnumber=""
 for (f=1;f<=NF;f++) {
     if ( $f == "CN" ) { cardnumber=$(f+1) }
     }

Create result using substr:
Code:
 start=substr(cardnumber,1,4)
 end=substr(cardnumber,11,6)
 new=sprintf("%s******%s",start,end)

As ,

Kshj said :


Code:
awk -F":" 'BEGIN {OFS=":"} $0 ~/\+DEF.*CN/ {for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) { if($i=="CN"){$(i+1)=substr($(1+i),1,4)"******"substr($(1+i),11,16)}}}1' file_name.txt

Thanks a lot but the issue is here we are checking with DEF section till CN but CN is not the fix two characters that will appear there
it can be any two character

So we have to check for the either the 11th field within DEF separated by : or 16 digit numeric word that appear within DEF section

Additionally it is not that in every DEF section we may get card number, if there is any other data(we can identify it if it is not 16 digit Numeric) we don't need to encrypt

Just a bit modification to the above script :
Code:
awk -F":" 'BEGIN {OFS=":"} $0 ~/\+DEF/ {for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) { if($i=="+DEF"){$(i+12)=substr($(12+i),1,4)"******"substr($(12+i)
,11,16)}}}1' file_name.txt

As i checked , the number is the 12th filed from DEF.

Hi Panyam,

its right it is the 12th field but the above code is not working and not encrypting.

Thanks a lot panyam and kshijSmilie

---------- Post updated at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous update was at 06:50 AM ----------

A bit change as follows:

Code:
awk -F":" 'BEGIN {OFS=":"} $0 ~/\+DEF/ {for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) { if($i=="+DEF"){if(length($(i+12))>=15) { $(i+12)=substr($(12+i),1,4)"******"substr($(12+i),11,16)}}}}1'

Not tested.
