Shell Programming and Scripting

No, it does not, see post #20

Hi Scrutinizer,

It is doesn't matter the line issue on File 1. I can be a line which all words together or I can split the long word into many different line with 100 record each line.

The main concern just hope can replace at correct position of File 1 based on File 2 file provided.

I can split File 1 long file into multiple line without change the word as well.
Sorry for confusing you.

Which of the two is correct? The sample file and the description contradict each other..

Hi Scrutinizer,

Might to know what confuse you now?
Thanks.

Hi Scrutinizer,

Sorry for confusing you.
I just edit my Post#1.

Hope it makes thing clear now.

Code:

File 2 is a file got 3 column (Tab-delimited).
First column is the header description (without ">") of File 1;
Second column is the position of word that I wanna to replace in File 1 based on Third column data;
Third column is the word that I wanna to replace it which specific word/specific position of File 1;

Hi RudiC,

Thanks to point out my mistake.
I just edit it.

Sorry to confuse second column and third column description with the File 2 content.
Do you experience to write awk command etc like my case before?

Thanks for advice.

OK, your requirements are clear now..
You need to use a file where the sequence is wrapped along multiple lines...
What syntax error do you get exactly?

Hi cpp_beginner,

please be aware that asking technical questions or requesting help via PM is highly deprecated in these fora. As is bumping up posts...
If your post / request is not answered immediately, that can have multiple reasons, amongst which are unclear specification or data (structures), nobody logged in who can help, or OP not reading / interpreting / understanding proposals correctly and/or not reacting adequately, not reproducing error messages meticulously.

Why don't you take a step back, rephrase your request utmost carefully, supplying input data samples that match your written request (also, when restructuring input, e.g. reduce line length to 100 chars, post a sample), and read and respect all comments carefully. If a proposal doesn't work for you, describe its failure in detail, and post the error messages, as solutions provided usually (>99%) are tested and work with the data given in the environment posted.

Hi Scrutinizer,

Glad that it is clear now.
I think I facing Syntax error again

I try to add semicolon at your code Post@16.
I believe I might missing some semicolon when run your awk command as a single one-liner at my terminal.

Might to know what is the best way I can try it out with your awk command?
Normally I will run the awk command at terminal straight away.

Thanks.
