It can also because I am using awk. Is there any other way(other than using awk) to find the file name? File name will be in second line of the file with 2 other items filesize numeric(10) and record count numeric(8).

Here is my code:
#!/bin/ksh

eval $(awk 'NR==2 {
printf "header_fname=\"%s\"\n", substr($0,1,length-18) ## filename
}' $1)

echo "$header_fname"

Sample file:
id_xyz20070523085554004
abcdefgh.csv000000324100000036

In any BOURNE-type shell (bash, ksh, sh, etc.):

Code:
{
 read line
 IFS=0123456789 read header_fname junk
} < "$FILE"
echo "$header_fname"
