Here is one other way from Richard Wright. Thanks Richard.
sed 's/^\(.\{100\}\)\(.*\)$/\100000\2/' infile

Subject: RE: [HPADM]-SUMMARY- Insert characters in middle of line
Thanks to Brett Geer, Thierry ITTY, and bill Thompson for there responses.
Here they are:
Brett:
awk '{ printf ("%s00000%s\n", substr ($0, 1, 120), substr ($0, 121)) } ' <
input > output
Thierry:
sed -e 's/^.{119,119}/&00000/' < infile > outfile
should do it
it reads : from the very beginning of the line ( ^ ), take exactly 119
chars ( {119,119} ) whatever they are ( . ) and keep that string ( & ) but
add 00000 just after it ( 00000 ). this will insert the desired string
starting at 120th char
Bill:
For a one time shot you could use the vertical bar option in vi to get to
character position 120 ("|120") then insert after ("a").
If you want to script it here's *one* way (I'm sure there are many):
- - - - - - snip - - - - - -
#!/bin/sh
FILE="yourfile"
TEMPFILE="/tmp/temp.$$"
>$TEMPFILE
IFS="
"
for LINE in $(cat $FILE); do
Once again thanks to all.

Subject: [HPADM] Insert characters in middle of line
Good Day All,
I have the need to insert a string of characters/numbers in the middle of a
record that is 240 characters long. Say I have the following filewith two
records:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyycccccccccccccccccccccbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
rrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccccccccccccccccd
ddddddddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffffffgggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
I need to insert 00000 starting at position 120 on each record. So each
record would be the same as it was befor but have the additional characters
starting at 120. The result would look somewhat like this:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwxxxxx00000xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyycccccccccccccccccccccbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrr
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccc00000ccccccccc
ccccdddddddddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffffffggggggggggggggggggggggh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
