Hi cg,

What you suggested is very close to my first algo so we can go with that.

I just don't know why headers.txt didn't formed as expected.

Anyway, please see codes below, test it, and post the o/p (we may be getting different o/p(s):

This will get all the required headers
Code:
sed 's/   */|/g;/^ *$/d' input.txt | awk -F"|" ' { print $1 } ' | sort | uniq -ud

This should return the row headers (first column):
Code:
sed 's/   */|/g;/^ *$/d' input.txt | awk -F"|" ' { print $1 } ' | sort | uniq -ud | grep [A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]*

And finally, this should return the column headers:
Code:
sed 's/   */|/g;/^ *$/d' input.txt | awk -F"|" ' { print $1 } ' | sort | uniq -ud | grep -v [A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]*

These are my results:

input.txt:
Code:
