Hi.

Here is a perl solution:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

# @(#) p1       Demonstrate 2-level split.

use warnings;
use strict;

my ($debug);
$debug = 1;
$debug = 0;

my ( @a, @b );
my ($lines) = 0;

while (<>) {
  $lines++;
  chomp;
  @b = split "        ";
  print "$b[0]\n" if $debug;
  print "$b[1]\n" if $debug;
  @a = split "    ", $b[0];
  print "$a[0]\n" if $debug;
  print "$a[1]\n" if $debug;

  print "$a[0]\n";
  print "$a[1]\n";
  print "$b[1]\n";
  print "\n";    # visual spacing, remove for production
}

print STDERR " ( Lines read: $lines )\n";

exit(0);

producing (first few and last few):
Code:
% ./p1 data1

This splits the lines on the 8-space separation into array b, then re-splits the first part, b[0], on the 4-space separation into array a, then prints the parts of interest ... cheers, drl
