Hi Ravinder,
It Worked!!
Thank You so much!
Actually, the data that we will get would be run time data. And the first two columns namely var1 and var2 are highly unprdedicatble since these will be combination of various words. So I tried all possible combinations i knew but couldnt achieve this. Hope, this code works for all kinds ofvar1 and var2.
Now since, we have acheived this, I wanna know how can i use these variables to pass as parameters to another script? I dont know such advanced UNIX.. so can you please help me out..

One more requirement:
As in the code above, i want the varaibles to be reused in another script, so i cant get them printed on command prompt. I would like them to store somewhere where i can reuse them. So how can the above code be modified?
The code runs perfectly for as many as lines i enter! :-D Thanks a lot lot!

fmt(1) General Commands Manual fmt(1)
NAME
fmt - format text
SYNOPSIS
width] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
The command is a simple text formatter that fills and joins lines to produce output lines of (up to) the number of characters specified in
the width option. The default width is 72. concatenates the arguments. If none are given, formats text from the standard input.
Blank lines are preserved in the output, as is the spacing between words. does not fill lines beginning with a period for compatibility
with Nor does it fill lines starting with
Indentation is preserved in the output and input lines with differing indentation are not joined (unless is used).
can also be used as an in-line text filter for the command:
reformats the text between the cursor location and the end of the paragraph.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Crown margin mode.
Preserve the indentation of the first two lines within a paragraph and align the left margin of each subsequent line with that
of the second line. This is useful for tagged paragraphs.
Split lines only.
Do not join short lines to form longer ones. This prevents sample lines of code, and other such "formatted" text, from being
unduly combined.
Fill output lines to up to
width columns.
WARNINGS
The width option is acceptable for BSD compatibility, but it may go away in future releases.
