Sorry to say it did not work same thing appears with this too. I am not able to make out as to what the problem is. Parsing breaks at 148.txt and when I checked 147.txt the format is the same as that with 148.txt only the text contents are different. But 147.txt is completely intact with full contents. But in 148.txt, I have some contents in 148.txt and rest in 149.txt

ok. I get what that problem is:

Let me paste the section of the file where the problem actually occurred:
Code:
.I 148
.U
870
.S
Br 
.M
abc
.T
tiger.
.P
JOURNAL ARTICLE.
.W
We succeeded in r.
.A
GoY.

The problem mainly occurs when I have the same character as . (character). In the example above after .W the sentence begins with letter W [We succeeded in r.]. hence, this is here my code breaks. This is happening consitently everywhere with any line which begins with the same character as .(charater)
For example:
The same thing could happen if after .M, line begins with M character. and if after .S, line begins with S character.

NAME
x2sys_merge - Merge an updated COEs tables SYNOPSIS
x2sys_merge -Amain_COElist.d -Mnew_COElist.d DESCRIPTION
x2sys_merge will read two crossovers data base and output the contents of the main one updated with the COEs in the second one. The second file should only contain updated COEs relatively to the first one. That is, it MUST NOT contain any new two tracks intersections (This point is NOT checked in the code). This program is useful when, for any good reason like file editing NAV correction or whatever, one had to recompute only the COEs between the edited files and the rest of the database. -A Specify the file main_COElist.d with the main crossover error data base. -M Specify the file new_COElist.d with the newly computed crossover error data base. OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments. EXAMPLES To update the main COE_data.txt with the new COEs estimations saved in the smaller COE_fresh.txt, try x2sys_merge -ACOE_data.txt -MCOE_fresh.txt > COE_updated.txt SEE ALSO
