Hi johnprogrammer,
Welcome to the UNIX and Linux forums.
Note that the problem being addressed in this thread didn't say anything about only wanting to remove spaces between parentheses on lines that also contain the string "httpd".
Note that the problem being addressed in this thread didn't say anything about removing lines that do not contain spaces between parentheses.
Note that the problem being addressed in this thread didn't say anything about only wanting to remove a single space between parentheses.
Note that the problem being addressed in this thread didn't say anything about only wanting to remove spaces between parentheses only lines that have exactly one <space> before the first parenthesis on that line.
Note that in post #1 in this thread, the desired sample output for the line that is to be changed also deletes a bunch of spaces and a number after the parentheses (which wasn't mentioned in the English description of the problem).
Please be careful about saying that your code works when it looks like the code that you have provided makes several assumptions that do not seem to match the requirements being addressed in this thread.
Hi nms,
I would also like to welcome you to the UNIX and Linux forums.
Please don't just say "Unfortunately, none of these worked."; please tell us where they fell short of doing what you wanted.
The requirements you stated in post #1 in this thread didn't make it clear whether or not lines that did not have a <space> between parentheses were supposed to be included in the output you are trying to produce or not.
The requirements you stated in post #1 in this thread didn't say anything about removing the <space>s and the "0" at the end of the line from the line you did want to change, but the sample output you provided removed those character as well as the <space> that was on that line between the parentheses.
In the future, please try to give a more complete description of exactly what it is that you are trying to do.
Consider my input string as "abc|b f g|bj gy"
I am expecting the output as "abc|bfg|bj gy".
Please let me know how to achieve this in unix?
