I have a CSV file containing timestamp values in UTC which I need to replace with -. There may be more than one timestamp in the same column, can you please let me know how do I do that?



For example, this is one column in a CSV file: 



+1234|2|12|1|1|1537820114232192380|0 +1234|2|12|1|1|1537820113262689150|0


The output should look like:



+1234|2|12|1|1|-|0 +1234|2|12|1|1|-|0





awk variable-substitution

You can use awk as follows:



echo "+1234|2|12|1|1|1537820114232192380|0 +1234|2|12|1|1|1537820113262689150|0" | awk 'gsub("[0-9]19", "-")1'
 +1234|2|12|1|1|-|0 +1234|2|12|1|1|-|0


You can use sed as follows: 



 echo "+1234|2|12|1|1|1537820114232192380|0 +1234|2|12|1|1|1537820113262689150|0" | sed -r 's/[0-9]19/-/g'
 +1234|2|12|1|1|-|0 +1234|2|12|1|1|-|0

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
