Hi Danmero,

Thanks a lot for posting the code. I apologise for your frustating experience with trying to understand the tables. I ran the code, however it throws an error:

'test1.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `do
'test1.sh: line 3: `do

also I forgot to mention that each of my files is in a subdirectory. So the directory hierarchy is as follows:
root_folder-->ABC-->ABC.txt
-->CDF-->CDF.txt

So I changed a code a bit as follows:

Code:
for filename in $(find -iname '*.txt') 
do
 awk -F"\t" ' 
    BEGIN {OFS="|"} {print $2,$14,$15,FILENAME}
    ' $filename > output.txt
done

kuipc

KUIPC(1)						      General Commands Manual							  KUIPC(1)

NAME

       kuipc - the CERN KUIP compiler

SYNOPSIS

       kuipc  [ options ] [ inputfile [ outputfile ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       kuipc,  the  Kit  for a User Interface Package Compiler, is a tool to simplify the writing of a program's user interface code.  It takes as
       input a Command Definition File (CDF) that describes the commands to be understood by the program, and outputs C or FORTRAN code that makes
       the  appropriate  function  calls  to  set  up the user interface.  This code can then be compiled and linked with the rest of the program.
       Since the generated code uses KUIP routines, the program must also be linked against the Packlib library that contains them.

       If no output file is specified, kuipc will output generated code to a file whose name is the same as the  input	file's,  with  the  ending
       '.cdf'  replaced  by  '.f'  or  '.c'  as  appropriate.  If neither input nor output file are given, kuipc will prompt for them.	Be careful
       because kuipc overwrites existing files with no warning.

OPTIONS

       -c     Generate C code.

       -f     Generate FORTRAN code (the default).

       -split Output several files, one for each time the >Name control line is used in the CDF input.	The names of the output files will  corre-
	      spond to the arguments given on the >Name control lines.

SEE ALSO

       The KUIP manual: http://wwwasdoc.web.cern.ch/wwwasdoc/psdir/kuip.ps.gz

BUGS

       When  the -split option is used, kuipc will still create an output file that it would have made if -split was not used; the file will be of
       zero size.
