Hello all,
I am not well versed in sed and awk so I would like to post this issue. I
have a file that has records in it that are 133 characters in length. The
actual data needed is only 54 characters the rest of the record is spaces.
What I need to do is get the first 54 characters from each record. I need
all 54 characters whether the are space or not. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim Naylor
