hi,
if you simply want to stick with the requirements (bash), you might
find this useful:
#!/bin/bash
filename="input_file.txt"
exec < $filename
while read line
do
echo
"${line:0:10};${line:10:10};${line:20:10};${line:30:10};${line:40:10};${line:50:10};"
done
Note:
- just add "${line:column_number:10};" to the code in order to fit
with your input file.
- i do accept paypal (just kiddin)....

Hi Ariz,
Yes it has to be written in bash, but if impossible?! I can use onother one.
Here is a sample of my flat file input and desired output in the attachment
file.
I''ve made just 6 columns in it, but in reality I have over than 20 columns.
I hope that it it's explicit anough.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
it would be better if you're going to post your sample input file
and your desired output. does the script have to be in bash?
