Thanks a loooooot!!!!!
My problem have been solved....
The Solution Suggested by Unbeliever is working fine....
When I tried with the solution by jerardfjay , it gives me the following error : Segmentation fault(coredump) .. Could you please tell me why ? I am using AIX 5.
The solution with sed by reborg is also working fine.. but it fails , if more that one \n is there in a single line. It appends the first with second..and so on... any way could you please explain the code.. if you don't mind
Thanks once again

rpm2cpio(1) User Commands rpm2cpio(1)
NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive
SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm]
DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out-
put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Converting an rpm file
example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
CPIO archive found!
