Scott,
Thanks for your kind explanation and help on the script you provided. I now understand the script and ran it. However, for somereason, I noticed that it is working only when I opened my data file and make any change and save it back and then run the script you provided. In such case it produced the result like this, which is what I wanted.
<tag1>....</tag1>
<tag2>....</tag2>
......
<tagn>.....</tagn>
However, if I run the data file as is without making any changes, it is producing the output everythihng in one line.
<tag1>...</tag1><tag2>...</tag2><tag3>....</tag3)..........<tagn>...</tagn>
It does not seem to be inserting the new line character properly, with each line. I am not sure why it is behaving like this. Because we are getting the data file produced from windows server and sent it via ftp to Lynux box, the file may have any other character to represent linefeed?
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rao

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
