thanks a lot

i still have another problem in getting exactly what i want

this is how i get the file abc.txt

Code:
tail -3 file1.txt| awk '{print $5 " "  "="  " "  $NF}' > abc.txt

so when i try

Code:
while read a b c
do
if [ "$c" = 0 ] 
then 
#### do something
fi
done <abc.txt

it attaches '\r' with $c in file abc.txt i.e. 0 becomes '0\r' and so on
thus the comparison fails.

---------- Post updated at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:39 PM ----------

above problem occurs only when i generate abc.txt as shown above.

If i type the contents of abc.txt by myself it works fine

please advise
