How to replace value in each field until a certain character in each record?

Each record coming with column names. I have to replace them in each record as shown below


Code:
  TIME=20181219110000261|CHAN=FMBKHJBAAAADPCFNAAAAAABA|EVNT=SWIclst|VALU=Session FMBKHJBAAAADPCFNAAAAAABA started|SRC=NSS|UCPU=0|SCPU=0

Output should look like:
Code:
20181219110000261|FMBKHJBAAAADPCFNAAAAAABA|SWIclst|Session FMBKHJBAAAADPCFNAAAAAABA started|NSS|0|0


TIA

Thanks for the response vgersh99 . Honestly, I am new to using unix. I tried some options with awk but the results are not matching with my requirement. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Why don't you cut and paste what you tried, also if you could tell us what OS as there are differences with awk on some operating systems.

Give me a day. I will post the solution by myself. Thanks for the help and thanks for reminding me of my school teacher who checks our homework.

Hi Sudhakar1987,

If this is homework then there is a seperate forum for this, if not then I would refer you back to the previous posts requesting what you've tried.

The forums here deliver help in many forms, however there is an expectation that the users will at least be prepared to share what they have already tried - other users in the main will respond with (in my experience) excellent feed back.

Everybody has to learn a bit at a time, throwing your toys out of the pram will achieve nothing - other than someone else having to pick your toys up for you!

I look forward to seeing your solution;

Regards
