Troubles with sub ?

[malpa]

Hi,

I have many unblock files in ascii format. I want to remove some strings.

Between these strings there are registers with a 203 bytes of length.

I´m using sub funtion. This funtion replaced them, but this funtion added some characters.

This strings could be in everywhere.

String number one (Length of string 240 bytes.)

dot (.) means any character

VOL1TTVOL................................NORTE..................................HDR1TTFILE01.........TTVOL.......
...............................................HDR2F020300203030AXE...../....................................................
..

registers
1104 186794
77 03300564411801000050614073550000024000020000005 0BOGONORCO24/1/201ETB1F7OFUS1PBI00700 0 0102002
0 06395460203

0 06395460203



String number two (Length of string 160 bytes.)

EOF1TTFILE01.........TTVOL......................................................EOF2F020300203030AXE...../......
................................................


This is the programm

removing the firts string
awk ' { gsub(/VOL1TTVOL................................NORTE..................................HDR1TTFILE01.........TTVOL.......
...............................................HDR2F020300203030AXE.....\/....................................................
../,"",$0);print} ' $file > file_one

removiong the second string
awk ' { gsub(/EOF1TTFILE01.........TTVOL......................................................EOF2F020300203030AXE.....\/......
................................................/,"",$0);print} ' file_one > file_two

After that, those strings don´t appear but the size of the file is increased.

After, I use fold command.
fold -w 203 file > file


Thanks for your valuable input

Hi,

Ok, I have troubles with gsub y sub in awk. I had to use perl to do the same, but I didn´t understand why gsub didn´t function?


The trouble was solved.
