hi, appriecate if you could help me,
i have a very long log file where the contents is like below:

AAA = 34234
BBB = somedata
CCC = somedata2
DDD = 94383058
…..

i need to convert this file to

34234;somedata;somedata2;94383058

and I tried to use “tr” command but failed, maybe because the end of line is not \n
is there any other command can process this log file ?
really appreciate your help on this
thanks

Something like this requires chaining a few commands together. One of the great strengths of Linux is the existence of many “small” commands that can be chained together.

First, as you indicated, the line ending may need to be adjusted. Try running

dos2unix <file>

on the file and then try “tr” again.

Also, it looks like you want to get rid of all the ‘=’ signs in you log files. Try this:

cat <file> | sed -r 's/^\w+\s+=\s+//' | tr '\n' ';'


AAA = 34234
BBB = somedata
CCC = somedata2
DDD = 94383058
