Hello. I know it is a bit off topic but you guys seem to know everything.
I have a bunch of CSV text files created with Oracle SQL*Plus from the command line. I now need to import these into the database but SQL*Plus seems to be notorious at creating white space between the columns of data. I have 12 files totalling 9 mb. What I need to do is replace the white spaces with a simple reg ex |[ ]{1,50} . Now I have tried two applications that do the job and that I can eventually run from the command line, but they just timeout and hang, take too long to process. Anyone know of a good application, super fast, that can do this sort of thing. And no I do not have a Perl server that I can use if this is an option. Thanks for reading.
