The length has no significance as far as I am concerned. But each set of numbers belong to A line only. So the length of each input line may vary.
Let me post how the input file looks like. 250 80707 13 294 8 332 0 286 5 428 0 332 0 286 5 428 0 414 9 428 0 797 333 0 781 2 458 9 414 01286 9 784 7 280 9 428 0 281 0 428 0 487 0 458 0 486 797 239 5 789 00 269 9 239 5 789 00 269 9 281 0 250 82707 15 401 9 486 286 9 250 00788 30787 2 486 286 9 250 00788 30787 2 707 0 788 20 340 707 0 788 20 340 788 20496 788 20496 812 20 719 45781 2 707 14788 21 414 9 355 8 344 1 707 14788 21 414 9 355 8 344 1 805 4 724 2 781 2 719 41 788 30781 2 427 31820 8 428 0 401 9 781 2 239 0 787 2 998 3 427 31511 9 894 1 788 29 599 0 716 99 894 1 788 29 599 0 716 99 Here's how my output should look like: 250 80 707 13 294 8 332 0 286 5 428 0 332 0 286 5 428 0 414 9 428 0 797 333 0 781 2 458 9 414 01 286 9 784 7 280 9 428 0 281 0 428 0 487 0 458 0 486 797 239 5 789 00 269 9 239 5 789 00 269 9 281 0 250 82 707 15 401 9 486 286 9 250 00788 30 787 2 486 286 9 250 00788 30 787 2 707 0 788 20 340 707 0 788 20 340 788 20 496 788 20 496 812 20 719 45 781 2 707 14 788 21 414 9 355 8 344 1 707 14 788 21 414 9 355 8 344 1 805 4 724 2 781 2 719 41 788 30 781 2 427 31820 8 428 0 401 9 781 2 239 0 787 2 998 3 427 31 511 9 894 1 788 29 599 0 716 99 894 1 788 29 599 0 716 99 But MY LOGIC GIVES ME THE FOLLOWING OUTPUT (Iam cutting an pasting from the wordpad exactly as is..): 250 80 707 13 294 8 332 0 286 5 428 0 332 0 286 5 428 0 414 9 428 0 797 333 0 781 2 458 9 414 01 286 9 784 7 280 9 428 0 281 0 428 0 487 0 458 0 486 797 239 5 789 00 269 9 239 5 789 00 269 9 281 0 250 82 707 15 401 9 486 286 9 250 0 0788 3 0787 2 486 286 9 250 0 0788 3 0787 2 707 0 788 20 340 707 0 788 20 340 788 20 496 788 20 496 812 20 719 45 781 2 707 14 788 21 414 9 355 8 344 1 707 14 788 21 414 9 355 8 344 1 805 4 724 2 781 2 719 4 1 788 30 781 2 427 3 1820 8 428 0 401 9 781 2 239 0 787 2 998 3 427 3 1511 9 894 1 788 29 599 0 716 9 9 894 1 788 29 599 0 716 9 9 Hope this might help you guys to help me out with the problem.

(It is only 32 characters long.) Just thought I'd pont that out in case it has a bearing on the solution to this problem :-) Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
