TEST TP,XXXXXXXX,D,TESTREFORMAT,XXXXXXXX,820,ANSI,X,004010,T

I can't isolate the DIR: I stuff. . . and, as said before, I wouldn't rely on this proposal .
Hi RudiC,

Thanks for bringing this awk command, but in my project we are not using awk any more because we are getting issues when we upgrade perl version.

Let's try this for a sed command file. You will need to specify -n before the name of your sed command file.
Code:
/-->/ {  N
         N
         s/  *//
         s/--//
         s/>//
         s/TP  ID: //
         s/ /~/
         s/  *XLATE KEY:  */ /
         s/\n/ /g
         s/  *AL:  */ /
         s/  *INT ID:  */ /
         s/  *XLATE TABLE:  */ /
         s/  *DOC ID:  */ /
         s/  *DIR:  */ /
         s/  *STD:  */ /
         s/  *COM:  */ /
         s/  *VERS:  */ /
         s/  *STAT:  */ /
         s/  */,/g
         s/~/ /
         s/^/ /
         p
       }

         p
       }

I will try this solution today and let you know the result.
Thanks.
