Many thanks for taking the trouble to help me out. I copied the program as such retaining the instructions you had given:
Quote:
Make sure you copy solution exactly as it appears (including the file name on the end of the line twice)
When I retain the

, I get the following error message:

Code:
gawk: singlesplit.awk:13: }' infile infile
gawk: singlesplit.awk:13:  ^ Invalid char ''' in expression

When I do away with the
Quote:

, I get no response: the output file does not pop up on the screen.
Is there a problem in copying the code. This what I copied and got :

Code:
NR==FNR{a[NR]=$1;b[$1]=1;x=NR}
NR>FNR{
  IGNORECASE=1;
  for(j=1;j<=x;j++){
      for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) {
          if(length($i)>length(a[j]) && $i~a[j] && $i!=a[j])
             gsub(a[j]," "a[j]" ",$0)
          }
      }
      for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
         printf (i>1?" ":"") (($i in b)?$i:"!"$i"!")
         print ""
}' infile infile

Sorry to hassle you like this, but I am really desperate to get the solution.
Many thanks once again for your patience and kindness.

ppmtopgm(1)                                                   General Commands Manual                                                  ppmtopgm(1)

NAME

       ppmtopgm - convert a portable pixmap into a portable graymap

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtopgm [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable  pixmap  as  input.  Produces a portable graymap as output.  The output is a "black and white" rendering of the original
       image, as in a black and white photograph.  The quantization formula used is .299 r + .587 g + .114 b.

       Note that although there is a pgmtoppm program, it is not necessary for simple conversions from pgm to ppm , because any  ppm  program  can
       read  pgm  (and  pbm  ) files automatically.  pgmtoppm is for colorizing a pgm file.  Also, see ppmtorgb3 for a different way of converting
       color to gray.  And ppmdist generates a grayscale image from a color image, but in a way that makes it easy to differentiate  the  original
       colors, not necessarily a way that looks like a black and white photograph.

QUOTE

       Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
       Removes the colors from our sight
       Red is gray, and yellow white
       But we decide which is right
       And which is a quantization error.
