Manipulating Text Files

[djrgk]

I have a large text file and need to merge every 2 lines and then insert / after a set number of characters on the new lines.

The file is something like this:

B
afzWULod050a123456

I want it to look like this:

B/a/f/zWUL/od050a/123456

Anyone any ideas?

djrgk,

here is an idea:


NR % 2 != 0 { first = $0 }

NR % 2 == 0 {

print first "/" substr($0,1,1) "/" substr($0,2,1) "/" substr($0,3,4) "/" substr($0,7,6) "/" substr($0,13)

}

print line must be in one line (if wrapped).

Bye!
