Hi Ravinder,

Col 4 should be determined by the keywords biological_process , cellular_component , molecular_function , without that it is not possible to isolate col3 because it can have variable number of words.

---------- Post updated at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:28 PM ----------

Code:
goterm1_oneword gene1_oneword description of gene biological_process this should be col 5 

goterm2_oneword gene1_oneword gene description biological_process col 5 

goterm2_oneword gene1_oneword describing the gene product multiple words cellular_component  col 5 this is

Output

Code:
goterm1_oneword[tab]gene1_oneword[tab]description of gene[tab]biological_process[tab]this should be col 5 

goterm2_oneword[tab]gene1_oneword[tab]gene description[tab]biological_process[tab]col 5 

goterm2_oneword[tab]gene1_oneword[tab]describing the gene product multiple words[tab]cellular_component[tab]col 5 this is
