Try this pure shell (bash):
Code:
while IFS=" 	(:)" read _ _ P _ _ L; do ((IX++)); POS[$IX]=$((P-1)); LEN[$IX]=$L; done < layout.txt

while read T
  do    unset CRS L
        for i in ${!POS[@]}
          do    L=$L${T:$CRS:$((${POS[$i]}-CRS))}"~"${T:${POS[$i]}:${LEN[$i]}}"~"
                CRS=$((${POS[$i]}+${LEN[$i]}))
          done
        L=${L#\~}
        L=${L//~~/\~}
        L=$L${T:$CRS}
        printf "%s\n" $L
  done < abc.txt

LEARN ABOUT PHP

maxdb_connect_error

MAXDB_CONNECT_ERROR(3)							 1						    MAXDB_CONNECT_ERROR(3)

maxdb_connect_error - Returns a string description of the last connect error

SYNOPSIS

       string maxdb_connect_error (void  )

DESCRIPTION

	The  maxdb_connect_error(3)  function  is  identical  to the corresponding maxdb_connect_errno(3) function in every way, except instead of
       returning an integer error code the maxdb_connect_error(3) function will return a string representation of the last error to occur for  the
       last maxdb_connect(3) call. If no error has occurred, this function will return an empty string.

RETURN VALUES

	A string that describes the error. An empty string if no error occurred.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      maxdb_connect_error sample

	      <?php

	      $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "nonexisting_user", "");

	      if (!$link) {
		 printf("Can't connect to localhost. Error: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
	      }
	      ?>

       The above example will output something similar to:

       PHP Warning:  maxdb_connect(): -4008 POS(1) Unknown user name/password combination <...>
       Can't connect to localhost. Error: POS(1) Unknown user name/password combination

SEE ALSO

       maxdb_connect(3), maxdb_connect_errno(3), maxdb_errno(3), maxdb_error(3), maxdb_sqlstate(3).
