Hi Shoaib

Thanks for reply

Yes I tried to separate columns based on space but its not wrking properly as for example there is space between "docetaxel tungstate" which shuld come in one column, but if we separate by space it will get separated which I do not want in output.

so the only thing I can see id PAxxx entries , if these entries get separated into columns other entries will be in column automatically which I want in output.

so for first row there will be 4 columns
and second row 6 columns


Code:
ESR1 PA156 leflunomide PA450192 
CHST3 PA26503  docetaxel tungstate  Pa4586; thalidomide Pa34958;

NAME
pr - print file SYNOPSIS
pr [ option ... ] [ file ... ] DESCRIPTION
Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files on its standard output. The output is separated into pages headed by a date, the name of the file or a specified header, and the page number. With no file arguments, pr prints its standard input. Options apply to all following files but may be reset between files: -n Produce n-column output. +n Begin printing with page n. -b Balance columns on last page, in case of multi-column output. -d Double space. -en Set the tab stops for input text every n spaces. -h Take the next argument as a page header (file by default). -in Replace sequences of blanks in the output by tabs, using tab stops set every n spaces. -f Use formfeeds to separate pages. -ln Take the length of the page to be n lines instead of the default 66. -m Print all files simultaneously, each in one column. -n Number the lines of each file. -on Offset the left margin n character positions. -sc Separate columns by the single character c instead of aligning them with white space. A missing c is taken to be a tab. -t Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer normally supplied for each page. -wn For multi-column output, take the width of the page to be n characters instead of the default 72.
