Still the same issue.....the script is not counting the TAB in between the words ....
Hi folks,
Thanks for the reply...sadly to say the issue is still there.
The script is unable to calculate the the TAB space in between the words..such that even if it exceeds col 79....it does'nt count...
But the script can calculate spaces given by "space bar"....
1----------------------------------------------79 #LINE COLOUMN 79
ii[TAB][TAB][TAB]ii[TAB][TAB][TAB]ii[TAB][TAB][TAB]ii
ii[SPACE][SPACE][SPACE]ii[SPACE]ii[SPACE][SPACE][SPACE]ii
The script doesn't work with the first one, but will work perfectly with the second........
Kindly help.....

CAT(1) General Commands Manual CAT(1)
NAME
cat - catenate and print
SYNOPSIS
cat [ -u ] [ -n ] [ -s ] [ -v ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Cat reads each file in sequence and displays it on the standard output. Thus
cat file
displays the file on the standard output, and
cat file1 file2 >file3
concatenates the first two files and places the result on the third.
If no input file is given, or if the argument `-' is encountered, cat reads from the standard input file. Output is buffered in the block
size recommended by stat(2) unless the standard output is a terminal, when it is line buffered. The -u option makes the output completely
unbuffered.
The -n option displays the output lines preceded by lines numbers, numbered sequentially from 1. Specifying the -b option with the -n
option omits the line numbers from blank lines.
The -s option crushes out multiple adjacent empty lines so that the output is displayed single spaced.
The -v option displays non-printing characters so that they are visible. Control characters print like ^X for control-x; the delete char-
acter (octal 0177) prints as ^?. Non-ascii characters (with the high bit set) are printed as M- (for meta) followed by the character of
the low 7 bits. A -e option may be given with the -v option, which displays a `$' character at the end of each line. Specifying the -t
option with the -v option displays tab characters as ^I.
SEE ALSO
cp(1), ex(1), more(1), pr(1), tail(1)
BUGS
Beware of `cat a b >a' and `cat a b >b', which destroy the input files before reading them.
