> #!/bin/bash SCRIPT_PATH=/trmout/TRMOUTPUT_PROD BKP_PATH=/appinfprd/bi/infogix/Temp_Files/SUPPLY_CHAIN File_Name=WB ######################################################################## ##Deleting the precessed files #### ######################################################################## cd $BKP_PATH rm *.* ######################################################################### ### removing the non ascii char from all Supply chain files ####### ######################################################################### for i in $SCRIPT_PATH/$File_Name*.txt do cp $i $BKP_PATH ########################################################################## ##Replacing the NON ASCII Char from Supply Chain files and saving it.#### ########################################################################## cat $i >> $i.bkp sed -i 's/[\d128-\d255]//g' $i.bkp mv $i.bkp $i done ############################################################################################# ##Creating a sample file which will be having the file name which has NON ASCII Char in it.## ############################################################################################# cd $SCRIPT_PATH grep -vlP '^[\0-\x7f]*$' WB*.txt >Supply_chain_Non_Ascii_List_File.txt ~ ~

Do you mean you want to delete anything on the line after the first non-ascii character ? If not, please provides some examples.

If yes, your sed should be :

sed -i 's/[\d128-\d255].*$//' $i.bkp

This will replace the first non-ascii character AND the rest of the line with nothing.

  • sed -i 's/[\d128-\d255][^|]*|/|/' WB* < $i.bkp This will replace the first non-ascii character till the first Column seperated by |. Commented Dec 5, 2017 at 3:58
