Within a control file I want to replace a long string (fully qualified file
name) with a shorter one. The short name should be padded with x'00s in
order to preserve the offset to other information in the control file. Is
there an easy way to accomplish this using either sed or shell scripts?
Example:
actual file content:
......../this_is_the_long_path_to_my/file......here_comes_the_rest
desired file content:
......./short_path_to_my/file........................here_comes_the rest
where: the dots between 'file' and 'here' must be x'00s
and where both the starting position of /path/file and 'here' are well known
(for example 20 and 100).
Any takers?
Many thanks in advance
