i had 100 records in each record having 50 columns of Data

Code:
awk '{ print    substr( $0,1,5 ) "~" substr( $0,6,6 ) "~" substr( $0,7,7 ); }'

How would i get the position of the Start String and End String in substr( $0,1,5 )

in that loop of each record i have to print with ~ delimated like

sams~11~Y
johns~12~Y

Thanks in Advance

It's not possible if the length of the names varies in your flat file.
