If first 4 characters of the line is 9142, then length of the line should be 41
If first 4 characters of the line is 1011, then length of the line should be 250
If first 4 characters of the line is 9999, then length of the line should be 70
If first 4 characters of the line is 4949, then length of the line should be 152

I am using cut, but it is taking very long time to execute the entire file.

Can anyone help on this.
Thanks in advance
What is the action you want to do if a particular condition is met?
