I have a large flat file generated by SQL Loader that I'd like to mess around with; specifically, I'd like to replace all of the carriage returns in one field with some other character, since they're messing up my data load.
I figured I'd use awk, since it's a pretty powerful little tool for getting right to the data. If I use: $ awk -F^ {print $6} test.dat I get the field that I want. But how do I change the characters in that field and replace them in test.dat? -- Sláinte, Richard S.
