Hi Ravindhar,

Thanks for suggestions. I will try it out and let you know the results.

---------- Post updated 04-15-16 at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous update was 04-14-16 at 10:04 AM ----------

Hi Ravindhar,

I have tried the code as you suggested and the below is working.

Input1="/tmp/chumma_file"

I also tried with while loop. But it did not work.

Code:
while read line
do
      echo $line  ##### just for an example
done < "$Input1"

However i have proceeded with the first Scenario . Thank you so much for your time and suggestions on this :-)

Hi Cero,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the below code which you suggested but it did not work.

Input1=`cat /path/op.diary`

So I have proceeded with the code which Ravindhar suggested.

Hi Rudi,

Thanks for your time on this. Unfortunately i am not clear on my specifications to you. But thanks a lot for looking into this. As mentioned above i have proceeded with the code which Ravindhar suggested and it worked fine.

Once again thank you all :-)

Regards,
am24

demos::widget_lib::trace2(3)				       perl/Tk Documentation				      demos::widget_lib::trace2(3)

NAME

       Tk::TraceText - Text contents defined by a traced variable.

SYNOPSIS

	$tt = $parent->TraceText(-option => value, ... );

DESCRIPTION

       Create a new TraceText widget that is derived from the standard Text widget. Because it inherits all the base options and methods it
       behaves just like a Text widget.  Additionally, TraceText adds a -textvariable option, which is a reference to a Perl scalar that defines
       the contents of the widget.

       Based on the Tcl/Tk TracedText "overridden widget" by Kevin Kenny.

       -textvariable
	   A scalar reference.	The value of the variable defines the contents of the TraceText widget.  Using the keyboard to insert or delete
	   text changes the value of the variable, and changing the variable alters the contents of the TraceText widget.

METHODS

       Standard Text widget methods.

ADVERTISED SUBWIDGETS

       None.

EXAMPLE

	my $tt = $mw->TraceText( -textvariable => $scalar );
