Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. First thing I noticed is that this script is taking little long time to process my file(size 200mb). I have about 10 to 20 files to process like this and I am afraid it might take several minutes process. Secondly, I thouhgt, if we remove extra new line characters, the size of the result file should be less than or equal to the original size, but I see the resulted file size being increased than original size. Thirdly, can you please explain me on your command what exactly is each command doing?
Thanks
Rao
