Thanks for your reply.... this is working for the data I gave... but in actual file i also have strings with spaces and it could have : / as well.... but file is comma separated.

eg:
Input file:
Code:
number,      number,   date time,  number, string, string
123456789,98765432,9/8/2012 3:00,1, ABC ABC, NEW STRING (12/3)

Need output:
Code:
   date , time ,            number ,    number,   number, string, string
20130809,030000,123456789,98765432,1, ABC ABC, NEW STRING (1:23)

Please advise. Sorry for not giving complete data before!
