Restructure records of file using DFSORT

Postby Enlighten » Fri Oct 16, 2015 3:53 pm

Hi,

I have a PS file with FB record format having records in the way:

AB001.d9999.sample       
AB001.d9999.sample1
AB001.d9991.sample11
AB001.d99.samp
AB001.d9999.sample190


I want records seen above to shift a position and add a prefix and suffix as can be seen below:

 DELETE AB001.d9999.sample(*)       
 DELETE AB001.d9999.sample1(*)
 DELETE AB001.d9991.sample11(*)
 DELETE AB001.d99.samp(*)
 DELETE AB001.d9999.sample190(*)


Please advise. Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

So you can easily add the DELETE string because you searched the forum and found similar examples, yes?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

And for the "(*)", use FINDREP with DO=1 to change two blanks to C'(*)'.
