Assuming that you have a file containing these '|'s then
probably the easiest way to fix the problem is to use sed(1) i.e. sed -e 's/\|/ /g' filename or to save output to a file sed -e 's/\|/ /g' filename > newfilename - Finnbarr

Hi! Finnbarr,
Thanks for your help but when i use this command direct to the file it is giving an error as sed: command garbled: s/\|/ /g, or if i save this out put to a new file and use that file then it is not even displaying the error:Can't open filename. if you can please help me out in fixing this issue

Finnbarr's commands are correct. With some *nix flavors you don't have to 'escape' the pipe charachter ( | vs \| ).
Are you trying to do this from the command line or a shell script? Can you post the code you tried to execute that failed?

Hi! Finnbarr's,
Thanks for your response here is part of script which im trying to execute 1)SUBJECTLN="`date +%m/%d/%y::%H:%M`:Order Activity Report (" 2)SUBJECT=$SUBJECTLN$gxi")" where gxi is a text file with information stored as abc|efg|..... 3)mailx -s "$SUBJECT" "$ADDRESSES" now in subject field it is printing as OUTPUT 01/26/04::11:44:Order Activity Report (abc|efg|.....) i should replace that pipe in (abc|efg|.....) and print as (abc efg ....). I tryed to use it in shell script rather than on command line but it is not working out for me. Last edited by riaz_mohd : January 27th, 2004 at 12:28 PM.

This works on my box:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
SUBJECTLN="`date +%m/%d/%y::%H:%M`:Order Activity Report ("
# gxi is file (filled with Foo|Bar|Foo|Bar)
gxi=/home/user/infile
SUBJECT=$SUBJECTLN`sed -e 's/|/ /g' $gxi`")"
echo $SUBJECT
# gxi declared in script
gxi="Foo|Bar"
SUBJECT=$SUBJECTLN`echo $gxi | sed -e 's/|/ /g'`")"
echo $SUBJECT
The output is: 01/27/04::19:41:Order Activity Report (Foo Bar Foo Bar) 01/27/04::19:41:Order Activity Report (Foo Bar) As you can see I did not have to escape the pipe symbol.
