Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I have worked on C and VB but not in these shell level programming. And main problem for me on these programing is they hardly give me error message and I can't check the condition on debug mode.

For OR logic I tried
Code:
if (letter = " " -o letter = ",")

as I found on some tutorials.
And I also read that for equals to we have to use single '=' not as '=='' like C++

Is this line do the same operation as mine???
Code:
perl -pe 's/(.{1,119}[ ,])/\1\\\n/g'

It is really difficult to find out what is happening with these code. I know few things
a) to handle the strings, we have to give ' at the start and end of the command
b) all arguments are should be separated by /
I really don't know any thing besides those from this code

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -a, --suffix-length=N generate suffixes of length N (default 2) --additional-suffix=SUFFIX append an additional SUFFIX to file names -b, --bytes=SIZE put SIZE bytes per output file -C, --line-bytes=SIZE put at most SIZE bytes of lines per output file -d, --numeric-suffixes[=FROM] use numeric suffixes instead of alphabetic; FROM changes the start value (default 0) -e, --elide-empty-files do not generate empty output files with '-n' --filter=COMMAND write to shell COMMAND; file name is $FILE -l, --lines=NUMBER put NUMBER lines per output file -n, --number=CHUNKS generate CHUNKS output files; see explanation below -u, --unbuffered immediately copy input to output with '-n r/...' --verbose print a diagnostic just before each output file is opened --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit SIZE is an integer and optional unit (example: 10M is 10*1024*1024).
