-------------------------- #!/bin/sh # the first command to sed below contains an embedded '\r', so it may look odd. sed \ -e 's/ $//' \ -e 's/^"\(#.*\)"/\1/' \ -e 's/ /,/g' \ -e 's/,,*$//' \ -e '/^$/d' \ -e '/^#/s/LLC,200/LLC, 200/' \ $1 -------------------------- This script is used to preprocess the CSV output of Exceed into an ASCII configuration file used on a Unix-type system (*not* Cygwin). Note that the literal <CR> cannot be replaced by "\r" here, since sed doesn't support it on this platform. - Will -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
