So further to this discussion, would there be a way to delete one complete field ??
For example, if wanting to remove the DESCR() field.

Tried the sed command:

Code:
sed 's/DESCR.*) R//'

But this strips the first char "R" next field, returning: NAME(BOS.FOS.T.CDG.MEDGTOC.01) XMITQ( )

Thnx again !!
