Hi.

Here is one approach:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate context splitting, pasting, adjusting columns.

set -o nounset
echo
echo "GNU bash $BASH_VERSION" >&2
csplit --version | head -1 >&2
echo

FILE=${1-data1}
csplit -k -z $FILE /^test_data/ "{*}"

echo
echo " Lines per file:"
wc -l xx*

echo
paste xx* |
column -s"      " -t
# Note: there is a TAB inside -s" ".

exit 0

which, on your data file (with extra line in data set 9) produces:
Code:
% ./s1

GNU bash 2.05b.0(1)-release
csplit (coreutils) 5.2.1

76
76
54

 Lines per file:
  6 xx00
  6 xx01
  7 xx02
 19 total

test_data_1                test_data_2                test_data_9
1  2  90%                  3  5  92%                  2  95%
4  3  91%                  5  4  92%                  3  94%
5  4  90%                  7  3  93%                  4  91%
6  5  90%                  9  2  92%                  5  92%
9  6  90%                  1  1  92%                  6  93%
7  90%

See man pages for details on the options ... cheers, drl

mdb-tables

MDBTools(1)															       MDBTools(1)

NAME

       mdb-tables - Get listing of tables in an MDB database

SYNOPSIS

       mdb-tables [-S] [-1 | -d delimiter] database

DESCRIPTION

       mdb-tables is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.

       It produces a list of tables contained within an MDB database in a format suitable for use in shell scripts.

OPTIONS

       -S     Show system tables. System tables are generally those beginning with 'MSys'

       -1     specifies that the tables should be listed 1 per line.

       -d delimiter
	      specifies an alternative delimiter. If no delimiter is specified, table names will be delimited by a tab character, or by newline if
	      the -1 option was specified.

NOTES

ENVIRONMENT

       MDB_JET3_CHARSET
	      Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file. Default is CP1252. See iconv(1).

       MDBICONV
	      Defines the output charset. Default is UTF-8. mdbtools must have been compiled with iconv.

       MDBOPTS
	      semi-column separated list of options:

	      o  use_index

	      o  no_memo

	      o  debug_like

	      o  debug_write

	      o  debug_usage

	      o  debug_ole

	      o  debug_row

	      o  debug_props

	      o  debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options

HISTORY

       mdb-tables first appeared in MDB Tools 0.3.

AUTHORS

       The mdb-tables utility was written by Brian Bruns.

BUGS

       Access allows for tables to have spaces embeded in the table name.
	      You must specify a delimiter (-d) if you intend on piping the output of mdb-tables to a program such as awk or cut.
