Hi,
I am stripping the below file based on a pattern:
**Starts**02-MAY-2017 03:48:13
**Ends**02-MAY-2017 03:48:13
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Start of log messages
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Extract program started at - 02-MAY-2017 03:48:32
!DATE: 05/02/2017 *** PULLS DATA INFO ***
!START 03:48:32
!END: 03:48:32 JOB RECORDS 3943
!****** GOOD END OF JOB PROCESS ***
Extract program completed at - 02-MAY-2017 03:48:32
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
End of log messages
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
No completion options were requested.
I can identify the lines using grep "^[^!]" test.txt
and grep "^!" test.txt
.
But not sure how to do sed or awk to strip the first character
I want a new file to be created as below:
DATE: 05/02/2017 *** PULLS DATA INFO ***
START 03:48:32
END: 03:48:32 JOB RECORDS 3943
****** GOOD END OF JOB PROCESS ***
