Hi:
Since you're data is fixed length, you can do something like this:
while read x do f1=$(echo $x|cut -c1-4) f2=$(echo $x|cut -c5-6) f3=$(echo $x|cut -c7-8) f4=$(echo $x|cut -c9-10) f5=$(echo $x|cut -c11-12) f6=$(echo $x|cut -c13-14) f7=$(echo $x|cut -c15-20) # printf all on one line printf "%s-%s-%s-%s.%s.%s.%s\n" $f1 $f2 $f3 $f4 $f5 $f6 $f7 done data.file # you need a 'less than sign' between done and the data file
Somebody can probably come up with a cool korn shell pattern to do this.
Regards,
Nails

Or you could do it with sed:
sed 's/\(....\)\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)\(......\)/\1-\2-\3-\4.\5.\6.\7/' data.file
