Actually it could be any command that will work with an old version of
HP UX, but peferably awk.
I have a text file with multiple fields seperated by a semicolon. For
the nth field, I need to delete any number after the 3rd character.
I've come up with this line but it won't work since it isn't a fixed length.
awk -F";" '{gsub("...$","",$6);print}'
I feel that I am close to finding the solution, but need a bit of help.
(Sorry freakzilla, the message was meant for the list.)
Thanks in advanced,
