reversing site coordinates

Christine_Weiss · March 15, 1996, 12:00pm

Hi,

Does anyone have an awk program to reverse the coordinates of a site file:

y|x|attribute to x|y|attribute

Or, is there any other solution to this problem?

Thanks!

This should work

awk -F'|' '{print $2"|"$1"|"$3}' test

where test is your input file
after checking if it works redirect it to a file
by adding > outputfile

awk -F'|' '{print $2"|"$1"|"$3}' test > outputfile
