You can try this..
awk -F "|" '{print $1}' filename
I'm getting result like the same.......... sorry!
I'm getting the input as output no change at all
You can try this:
awk '{print substr($0,1, match($0,"[^0-9]")-1)}' file
Regards
All of the following work for me. I think some of them have been suggested before.
perl -pe 's/\|//' < file
sed 's/|//g' < file
awk -F\| '{print $1}' < file
Thanx alot Franky
It's working like Mariijuana:b:
