Some help please:
Need to find string ||(everything in front of it)B0300|| and replace it with ||0|| globally
In:
16112121||||0||0||0||0||0||52||52||0||0||0||0||1507200053342B0300||1507200053342B0300||0||0||0||0700
Out:
16112121||||0||0||0||0||0||52||52||0||0||0||0||0||0||0||0||0||0700
1507200053342 may differ each time.
sed 's/dont know how to do this:-)B0300||/||0||/g'
Thank you in advance for any help
Hello drbiloukos,
Please use code tags as per forum rules for inputs/codes which you are using for your posts. Could you please use following and let me know if this helps you.
echo "16112121||||0||0||0||0||0||52||52||0||0||0||0||1507200053342B0300||1507200053342B0300||0||0||0||0700" | awk -F"|" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i ~ /B0300/){$i=0};A=A?A OFS $i:$i}} END{print A}' OFS="|"
Output will be as follows.
16112121||||0||0||0||0||0||52||52||0||0||0||0||0||0||0||0||0||0700

Apologies I forgot tags. It works as expected. Many thanks.
sed 's#\([^|]*B0300\)\([|]\)#0\2#g' filename
awk 'gsub(/[^|]*B0300\|/,"0|")' file
