Hello!!
I have the text file with following format...

--SubTotal-----------------------------------0--161---------------44---13739369-67---
--SubTotal-----------------------------------0--147---------------0----49643---1----
--SubTotal-----------------------------------0--161---------------20---13750219-31---
--SubTotal-----------------------------------0--147---------------0----49679---0----


I want to extract bold figures in two different columns of output file.
Line 1 and 3 in 1st column while line 2 and 4 in second column.

Please help me in this regard.
