sequential File

You failed to tell the tr command which file to process and where to send the output. That's why it failed. Arnd's approach would suffice, unless you were using tr as a Filter command, in which case you would not redirect stdout.

Code: Select all
cat filename1.txt | tr \'\x00\' \'\' > filename2.txt 
...

It works with no error..but
the output file got messed up it removed all the 00 from the file so for ex if the date field is there 20070922..the o/p is 2 7 9.....

Thanks,

Post the exact command you are using and how you are executing it. Exact. Copy/paste the entire thing, not selective samples like you've done before and not what Arnd wrote - your command.

Try losing the hard quotes, and using the -d option.

Code: Select all

tr -d \x00 < #$FILEDIR#/#File#.ld > #$FILEDIR#/#File#_#Name#.ld

Now the o/p of the command is for ex 12/09/2007-----output as 12/9/27...i don't know it is removing all the 0's rather than remvoing the hexa ctrl 00...is the reason is because all 0's are put as hexa ctrl...

OK, in spite of your tr not behaving like the man pages say it ought, try this:

Code: Select all

tr -d \x0 < #$FILEDIR#/#File#.ld > #$FILEDIR#/#File#_#Name#.ld

If that doesn't work, try using Ctrl-@, shown as ^@ below.

Code: Select all

tr -d '^@' < #$FILEDIR#/#File#.ld > #$FILEDIR#/#File#_#Name#.ld
