Ok this one looks alot better. Totals are in tact however it needs to start cutting off 1 character earlier (which I think I may be able to change).
The problem however now is that some lines do not have data at the beginning of the lines, but column 4 does have data in it (so 1,2,3,5,6 are blank). This is still being printed it is just moving over into what was column 5.
The next part is that it is just cutting sections of the header out, i don't know if this can be fixed or not.
I will try to fix the width issue. I am not sure where to start on getting it to cut out the other parts of column 4 though
Thanks alot for all the help.
I'd rather not remove the first 6 of the lines if we can just ignore those lines somehow? They all start with the same thing (except there are multiple starts to each line of the header.)
This is how the first 6 lines of each page look
Line 1: (this has a square control character) I imagine it is used as the page sep
Line 2: XXXXXX (always the same, different word obviously)
Line 3: ALL
Line 4: (blank line)
Line 5: ACCOUNT (4 blank spaces before this)
Line 6: --------- (4 blank spaces before this)
Line 7 is blank and data starts under that. That is how the header begins on each page. If it was possible to ignore that the entire way down that would be ideal.
Last error:
Name "main::HEADERSIZE" used only once: possible typo at testfile line 3.

NAME
nl - line numbering filter
SYNOPSIS
type] type] type] start#] incr] sep] width] format] num] delim] [file]
DESCRIPTION
reads lines from the named file or the standard input if no file is named and reproduces the lines on the standard output. Lines are num-
bered on the left in accordance with the command options in effect.
views the text it reads in terms of logical pages. Line numbering is reset at the start of each logical page. A logical page consists of
a header, a body, and a footer section. Empty sections are valid. Different line numbering options are independently available for
header, body, and footer (e.g., no numbering of header and footer lines while numbering blank lines only in the body).
The start of logical page sections are signaled by input lines containing nothing but the following delimiter character(s):
|
Line contents | Start of
--------------+----------
::: | header
:: | body
: | footer
Unless told otherwise, assumes the text being read is in a single logical page body.
Command options can appear in any order and can be intermingled with an optional file name. Only one file can be named. recognizes the
following options:
Specifies which logical page body lines are to be numbered.
Recognized types and their meanings are:
number all lines;
number lines with printable text only;
no line numbering;
number only lines that contain the regular expression
specified in string. Basic Regular Expression syntax is supported (see regexp(5)).
The default type for logical page body is (text lines numbered).
Same as except for header. Default type for logical page header is (no lines numbered).
Same as except for footer. Default for logical page footer is (no lines numbered).
Do not restart numbering at logical page delimiters.
start# is the initial value used to number logical page lines. Default is
incr is the increment value used to number logical page lines. Default is
sep is the character or characters used in separating the line number and the corresponding text line. Default sep is a
tab.
width is the number of character columns to be used for the line number. Default width is
format is the line numbering format. Recognized values are:
left justified, leading zeroes
suppressed;
right justified,
leading zeroes suppressed;
right justified, leading zeroes kept.
Default format is (right justified).
num is the number of consecutive blank lines to be treated and numbered as a single line. For example, results in every
third adjacent blank line being numbered if the appropriate and/or option is set. Default is
The delimiter characters specifying the start of a logical page
section can be changed from the default characters to two user-specified characters. If only one character is entered,
the second character remains the default character No space should appear between the and the delimiter characters, how-
ever, this restriction is not there for (see standards(5)) compliant To define a backslash as the delimiter, use two
backslashes.
