How to replace value for a given condition in specific column of file

Question

I have file separetd by pipe | and I want that when column 6 contain letter I print 0758000 in column 7 and when the column 6 contain letter A print 0800000 in column 7, I can not find how to do it!!!

Example:

Original file

cat file1.txt
Z89|EEE333333|100001|JANMC84|19990101|I|1800040
Z89|EEE444444|200001|JANMC84|19990101|I|1800040
Z89|EEE222222|300001|JANMC84|19990101|A|1800040
Z89|EEE555555|700001|JANMC84|19990101|A|1800040

The result should be:

Z89|EEE333333|100001|JANMC84|19990101|I|0758000
Z89|EEE444444|200001|JANMC84|19990101|I|0758000
Z89|EEE222222|300001|JANMC84|19990101|A|0800000
Z89|EEE555555|700001|JANMC84|19990101|A|0800000

Solution

You can do it with awk like

awk -F\| 'BEGIN {OFS=FS} $6 == "A" {$7 = "0800000"} $6 == "I" {$7 = "0758000"}; 1' file1.txt

This will have awk split fields based on |, then set the output field separator to also be | when we write the lines back out. Then if the sixth field, $6, is A replace the seventh field with a particular value, and a different value if it's an I. Then print the line out at the end, with our changes if we made any.
