SED Help
Hi,
I am having a flat file with few data items, where I am interested with first 2 data items. The file is delimited with space as filed seperator (Sample is shown below). The first field is a BLANK the second field is 9 digit number(lines atrting with 21,42 & 111, here spaces are not visible due to html format), but this field will be embeded with spaces, now I want to replace only this blanks to zeroes for this field only. I tried with sed to do so, but it replaces whole line, How to replace only portion of the record. You help will be greatly appriciated. Thanks nmsudhan Sample 21 00000000000000000211 11 4 0 051231 42 12345600000000000042 30 0 0 100531 111 00000000000000011100 11 2 1 120229

for your input of: PHP Code:
note that i added a line at the end that is like line 3 but with a value of 2 for the first field so that i can demonstrate the difference. the output should be: PHP Code:
