For Example I have a file like as follows .
A,Y29tLz9hPTQ2JmM9NDQzNzgmczE9Q0,123
B,FJNLTA2MjQyMDE3LVAmczI9ODQ3MDA,321
I want to print field1,field2(by base 64 decoding),field3
Output Required ::
A,result of base 64 decode,123
B,result of base 64 decode,321
You can do this in a bash script with a few read
commands and base64 -D
:
#!/bin/bash
while read -r line
do
IFS=',' read -r c1 c2 c3 <<< "$line"
data="$(base64 -D <<< "$c2")"
echo "$c1,$data,$c3"
done < "inputfile.txt"
Your one base64 strings has binary data in it though, so output may look funky due to control characters.
A,com/?a=46&c=44378&s1=,123

give this awk one-liner a try:
awk -F',' -v OFS=',' '"echo "$2" | base64" | getline $2' file
Test with your example:
kent$ cat f
A,Y29tLz9hPTQ2JmM9NDQzNzgmczE9Q0,123
B,FJNLTA2MjQyMDE3LVAmczI9ODQ3MDA,321
kent$ awk -F',' -v OFS=',' '"echo "$2" | base64" | getline $2' f
A,WTI5dEx6OWhQVFEySm1NOU5EUXpOemdtY3pFOVEwCg==,123
B,RkpOTFRBMk1qUXlNREUzTFZBbWN6STlPRFEzTURBCg==,321
