sorry, this was confusing. the <empty> means there is a space. so the solution does not work. there is no empty in the file. the file looks like this:

Code:
SC    32.245    24.153    1
    213.179    24.154    1
    368.069    24.154    1
    464.704    24.153    1
    742.256    24.154    1
    871.102    24.154    1
            
SP    122.712    24.153    1
    245.391    24.153    1
    309.814    24.154    1
    587.383    24.153    1
    710.061    24.154    1
    838.891    24.153    1

uh, hexdump, ok i did that (in the terminal just typed that followed by the file name, yes?!) it gave me something really not similar to the file but ok, if that helps:
Code:
0000000 53 43 09 30 2e 30 33 33 09 32 34 2e 31 35 33 09
0000010 31 0d 0a 09 32 37 33 2e 36 32 31 09 32 34 2e 31
0000020 35 33 09 31 0d 0a 09 34 30 32 2e 34 36 36 09 32
0000030 34 2e 31 35 33 09 31 0d 0a 09 34 39 30 2e 39 32
0000040 36 09 32 34 2e 31 35 34 09 31 0d 0a 09 36 36 37
0000050 2e 38 38 31 09 32 34 2e 31 35 33 09 31 0d 0a 09
0000060 38 32 30 2e 37 38 30 09 32 34 2e 31 35 33 09 31
0000070 0d 0a 09 09 09 0d 0a 53 50 09 31 32 30 2e 37 32
0000080 32 09 32 34 2e 31 35 33 09 31 0d 0a 09 32 34 31

i just realised that actually the empty fields do not matter. when i used awk '{print $1}' i got the first column whether there was an empty space at the beginning of the line or not. so i basically just got the first entry in each line. so i guess that makes the solution easier. it should just write the numbers, so colums 2-4 if there is the string in front and then continue with colums 1-3 until the next string. does that make sense?

ppmimgvquant

PPMIMGVQUANT(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   PPMIMGVQUANT(1)

NAME

       ppmimgvquant - palette quantifier for Pilot Image Viewer pgm files, version 2.0.

SYNOPSIS

       ppmimgvquant [-4] [-h] [-v] [ppmquant options]

DESCRIPTION

       ppmimgvquant just calls ppmquant(1) with the following map file:
	    P3
	    4 1
	    255
	      0   0   0
	     85  85  85
	    170 170 170
	    255 255 255
       If you specify -4, then we use this map file:
	    P3
	    16 1
	    255
	      0   0   0
	     17  17  17
	     34  34  34
	     51  51  51
	     68  68  68
	     85  85  85
	    102 102 102
	    119 119 119
	    136 136 136
	    153 153 153
	    170 170 170
	    187 187 187
	    204 204 204
	    221 221 221
	    238 238 238
	    255 255 255
       The ppmquant(1) output is also passed through ppmtopgm(1) to ensure a graymap output file.

OPTIONS

       -4     Convert to 4 depth image (for Palm IIIx/V).

       -h     Display a usage message and exit.

       -v     Display the version number and exit.

       All other switches are passed to ppmquant(1).

SEE ALSO

       imgvinfo(1), imgvtopnm(1), imgvview(1), pbmtoimgv(1), pgmtoimgv(1), ppmquant(1), ppmtopgm(1), pbm(5), pgm(5).
