Don,
Thank you very much.
I did some changes, and it's working fine for English char data. But, when I have international language data in the input file, getting into below error:
Code:
FNR=2) fatal: Invalid collation character: /[[.".]][[.¿.]][[.".]]/

Appreciate your help regarding this.
Thanks

strxfrm(3)						     Library Functions Manual							strxfrm(3)

Name
       strxfrm - string transformation

Syntax
       size_t strxfrm (to, from, maxsize)
       char *to;
       char *from;
       size_t maxsize;

Description
       The  function transforms the string pointed to by from and places the resulting string into the array pointed to by to.	The transformation
       is such that two transformed strings can be ordered by the function as appropriate to the program's locale category

       The length of the resulting string may be much longer than the original.  No more than characters are  placed  into  the  resulting  string
       including  the  terminator.   If  the  transformed  string  does  not  exceed characters, the number of characters (less the terminator) is
       returned.  Otherwise the number of characters (less the terminator) in the transformed string is returned and the contents of the array are
       undefined.
