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

NAME
size - Prints the size of an object file and the sizes of its segments or sections
SYNOPSIS
size [-d -o -x -A -B -V] [file1 ...fileN]
OPTIONS
The size command accepts the following options: Prints size information in decimal (default), octal, and hexadecimal format, respectively.
Specifies System V-style output, which dumps size and address information for each section of the object file. By default, numbers are
printed in decimal. Specifies Berkeley (4.3BSD)-style output, which is the default for Tru64 UNIX systems. This output contains size
information for each segment and the size of the entire object file. By default, the segment size information is printed in decimal format
and the object file size is printed in hexadecimal and decimal formats. Prints the version of size that you are using.
DESCRIPTION
The size command prints information about the text, rdata, data, sdata, bss, and sbss sections of each file. The file can be an object or
an archive. If you do not specify a file, size uses a.out as the default.
[SVR4] By default, the size command displays its output as if the A option were used.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the behavior of size:
