Question

I have a dat file with data as follows:

030 »E  »EN  »20  »James            »
030 »E  »EN  »21  »John               »

The » is the delimiter in this. I need to remove the delimiter at the end of each line. Is this possible with Unix utilities? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Visakh

Answer 1

you can just use a simple sed statement:

sed -i 's/>>\n/\n/g' *.dat

Hope that helps
