@All thanks for all the suggestions. Would you mind giving the soultion to the other scenario where the field contains 0

example :

Quote:
1|fhjdh|9.320|478|34
2|rhe|0|48|543
if i use

Code:
awk -F"|" -vOFS="|" '{sub("0*$","",$3)}1' file

In the output file it is removing the "0" from third field which should not be removed.

Plz help..
