Morning Try man awk, man sed, man ed Tage D. -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: James Philp [mailto:linuxjames2003@yahoo.com] Sendt: 21. august 2003 06:03 Til: suse-linux-e@suse.com Emne: [SLE] ?program to replace text in text files Hi, Does anyone know of a (command line) program in SuSE that allows you to replace all occurences of a certain string in a text (CSV) file with another? I have a (huge) file which contains Matlab style 'NaN' for missing data and I need to make it Gauss readable by replacing all the 'NaN' with the symbol '.'. It's too big to be loaded into an editor or excel etc. thanks, j. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
