If the redcolor value is 1088 then i need to change the values in the 3rd column (ie., 7044) to 9999 from oneset of QWER to END .
here one pbm just now i was told . the below should not be counted with no of column but should with number of offset ie ., offset 11th value should be changed to 9999 from QWER to END if offset 29th value is 1188

offset is nothing but loaction of the word from the left
----------
input file
----------
QWER 2:35 7044 00001 ROUT 1188 EA SS
ASD 2:36 7044 00010 ROUT

ASD 3:36 7044 00010 ROUT
BSD 3:37 7044 00011 ROUT

I have received two PMs from you and a private email - please don't do that. The whole point of this type of forum is to share knowledge publicly.

Why does using the character offset of the field instead of the field position change the problem? My solution still seems to do what you require? Do you have any example data for which it does not work?
