Hi,
I need help urgently.
Something that seems simple, does not come out.
Attempt to insert into a text file page breaks. I need that the execution is fast (as I have to change many files and very large).
I have tried using the sed command to replace the characters "C$" with "\f"C$, but there is no way, doing it this way:
sed 's/C\$/&\f+/g' prova.txt
It does not work because it replaces the characters "C$" for "f+".
Please, this should be very easy anyone can help me? :o
Try this:
sed 's/C\$/f+/g' file
I've tried and not working
FF=`echo "\0014\n"` # Form feed
sed -e "s/C\$/${FF}/g" oldfile > newfile
If this doesn't work, please post the output from the diagnostic view of an example end of page record displayed with the following command:
sed -n l filename
This should reveal if what you see as "C$" is actually something else?
nawk '{gsub("C\\$", "\f&");print}' myFile
has worked!!
many thanks !!

It worked but performs the operation in various parts:
FF=`echo "\0014\n"` # Form feed
sed 's/C\$/PAGINAnova&/g' file1> file2
sed -e "s/PAGINAnova/${FF}/g" file2 > file3
many thanks !!
