Answer / murali udayagiri

Write a pre-process shell script by using the below 2nd
command and overwrite to another file, use overwritten file
as source for loading.

1)
$ cat multi_delimeter.txt
1,murali%100#10
2%krishna#200,20
3%sasi%232,10
1%murali%100,30
4,krish,200%20

2)
$ sed -e 's/,/|/g' -e 's/%/|/g' -e 's/#/|/g' multi_delimeter.txt
1|murali|100|10
2|krishna|200|20
3|sasi|232|10
1|murali|100|30
4|krish|200|20
