Thanks for the help.

i have missed some information in my previous communication.

The number starts with the pattern "0032" and it is 10 character length. And I will
get multiple numbers on the same lines. Some blank spaces, blank lines will also come in between the data.

A sample file, as follows:

<Sample data>
0032459999 0032458888 0032457777
0032451111 0032452222 0032453333


0032459999 0032458888 0032457777
0032451111 0032452222 0032453333

</Sample data>

And numbers is duplicated all over the file.

Each number is seprated by two spaces.

Sometimes, a large chunk of white space prefixed before the numbers.
But always the length of line is fixed to 151 characters.

Actually I want to create a report and in the report I want to list the number one below another like the below one.

<Sample output>
0032451111
0032452222
0032453333
0032457777
0032458888
0032459999
</Sample output>


Any help on this is appreciated.

MAKEDEV(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						MAKEDEV(3)

NAME
makedev, major, minor -- device number conversion SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> dev_t makedev(int major, int minor); int major(dev_t dev); int minor(dev_t dev); DESCRIPTION
The makedev() macro allows a unique device number to be generated based on its major and minor number. The major() and minor() macros can be used to obtain the original numbers from the device number dev. In previous implementations of FreeBSD all block and character devices were uniquely identified by a pair of major and minor numbers. The major number referred to a certain device class (e.g. disks, TTYs) while the minor number identified an instance within the device class. Later versions of FreeBSD automatically generate a unique device number for each character device visible in /dev/. These numbers are not divided in device classes. On FreeBSD these macros are only used by utilities that need to exchange numbers with other operating systems that may use different encod- ings for dev_t, but also applications that present these numbers to the user in a more conventional way. RETURN VALUES
The major() macro returns a device major number that has a value between 0 and 255. The minor() macro returns a device minor number whose value can span the complete range of an int. SEE ALSO
