SELCOPY - How to remove the spaces in a file

Velkumar · New User Joined: 23 Apr 2007 Posts: 18 Location: India

I have the file structure like

DATA 1234 DATAB 45678--Input file

The output file should look like
DATA 1234 DATA 145678

I want to remove the extra spaces between 1234 and DATAB with one space

Using selcopy can we achieve this... If so can you provide me the sloution.

Hi,
Your requirement is not so clear to me. Still with assumptions I'm providing following.

Hi Parag

Thanks for the reply. I will make my query more clear. My input file contains one record. The structure is as below

*********************************************
MACHINE 10.145.61.99 DATA 123456
****** ***************************************

The output file has to remove the extra space between 10.145.61.99 and DATA. Finally I need the output file like

*********************************************
MACHINE 10.145.61.99 DATA 123456
****** ***************************************

I think now my query is clear to you.
Advance thanks.

Vel

Hi Parag

The additional spaces between 10.145.61.99 and DATA is not coming in the Text editor. Consider the input file is having more than one space(10 to 20 characters blank). I need, the output file should not contain the extra spaces between them. I need to achieve this through selcopy. Can we do it.
