Thanks for your reply but it gives syntax error....also if I run only for one file I get problems if some column has % symbol (column 10 has it).....example:

Input file:
0104100400,C,41.26,43.33,45.39,04/APR/2009,2009,02,MAR,LPF 3: % YTD(Main Exchange),03/APR/2010

Output1 should be (say column 2,10,3,6):

C,LPF 3: % YTD(Main Exchange),41.26,04/APR/2009,FILE1

Output2 should be (say column 2,10,4,11):

C,LPF 3: % YTD(Main Exchange),43.33,03/APR/2010,FILE2
