Hi, Karthik Ak:
Do you mind to use a shell script, just for a try.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
tr -d '\r' <$1>$1.tmp
i=0
while read -r line
do
length=`echo "$line"|sed 's/[^,]//g'`
i=`expr $i + ${#length}`
if [ $i -eq 11 ];then
printf "$line\n"
i=0
else
printf "$line"
fi
done<$1.tmp
rm $1.tmp

Usage
Code:
./test.sh sample.csv

If you use bash instead of ksh, please modify the 1st line to
Code:
#!/bin/bash
