Hi Amit,
Thanks for the reply

From your script:

file b.txt will only contain the fild name data type and the length

For ex:f6 char 2
f7 char 3

If the file a.txt has 5 fields, like
 
f1 1 char 10,
f2 11 char 2,
f3 13 char 1,
f5 14 char 3,
I need the output like
 
f1 1 char 10,
f2 11 char 2,
f3 13 char 1,
f5 14 char 3,
f6 17 char 2,
f7 19 char 3,
lineend 22 char 1
Note the f6 2nd column starting is 17 which is the sum of col2 + col4 of the pervious record.
Also I need the spaces/tab as equavalent to the previous record to make the look and feed better for which I dont get an idea how to do?
