a question

[vti]

i have a file like ;

H99200020020313 T0000003000001322647000
H99207020020313
T0000017000000581060000
..
follows at same format with diferent data.
And i'd like to cut some data until end of file and create an output to a file like ;

2000 0000003 000001322647000
2070 0000017 000000581060000


'2000' is 3-7 characters of first line .
'0000003' is 1-8 characters of second line
'000001322647000' is 9-24 characters of second line.


Thanks for any help.

Something doesn't compute beteen the data you gave and the character positions you specified but something like this may work.

printf substr($0,3,5) " "
getline
print substr($0,1,8) " " substr($0,9,16)

Note that character positions in the substr command are one relative not zero relative.

Hope this helps.

Hi CaKiwi thanks for reply, i think data which i gave as example moved to right a bit when i submit the question.The true one i will give below.

H99200020020313
T0000003000001322647000
H99207020020313
T0000017000000581060000

I want to cut 4 characters(2000) after "H99" from first line
and cut 7 characters(0000003) after "T" of second line and also want to cut the last 15 characters of second line .

I have tried your way but couldn't run it.Would you tell me the right way to run it.

Thanks

One way to run it is to put this script into a file, a.awk say,

{
  printf substr($0,4,4) " "
  getline
  print substr($0,2,7) " " substr($0,9)
}

and enter awk -f a.awk your-file

Hope this helps. CaKiwi
