Hi,

here is a quickie for you hopefully

I have a text file with 27997 lines similar to these, only longer


213.16;72.38;1/8/2003 00:00:00;;;;AR AUG 03;
213.16;72.38;2/8/2003 00:00:00;;;;AR AUG 03;
213.16;72.38;3/8/2003 00:00:00;;;;AR AUG 03;
213.16;72.38;4/8/2003 00:00:00;;;;AR AUG 03
213.16;72.38;5/8/2003 00:00:00;;;;AR AUG 03
213.16;72.38;6/8/2003 00:00:00;;;;AR AUG 03;


I am not sure how, but I have created this file with some lines ending in a semi-colon some not !

I would like all lines NOT to have a semi-colon ending,

can someone write me a super little one liner that I can run against this please,

I have transfered this text file to a SunOS 5.6 box with ksh,


tia,
