So i want irrespective of all the changes to i/p file, that we can think of, it should give us the o/p of the proper search value....but anyway thanx a lot.

lorcan, i tried your one it works fine , with some modification according to my requirement ....But still can we have some more modularized one...using AWK or SED.
i tried this code it works fine . You don't have to use 6 or 7 fields . you can can write more than from the possibilities. for e.g print $8,..print 12 etc.
