Instead of $1 , it must be $0

Try this,

awk '/^\*\*\*/ { printf "%s %s\n",substr($0,4,5), substr($0,9,4) }' file

Thanks

See if this helps
$cat sum
TEST10067
TEST20081
TEST30088

$ sed -e 's/00/ 00/g' sum
TEST1 0067

Hi

This works fine
awk '/^\*\*\*/ { printf "%s %s\n",substr($0,4,5), substr($0,9,4) }' file

Thanks Penchal

Also the last thread which uses sed will not help much as you are hardcoding 0's for searching the string which is not generalised.

Anyways thanks for your ideas.

Regards
Dhana
