Dear Robin,

This is no home work/assignment.
Basically it is just an output of a program.
But I'm interested to know it in further detail.

I can't think out a solution yet.
What I plan is:
  1. Separate alphabetic characters by tab delimiter;
  2. eg. 10M10D91M become 10 M 10 D 91 M
  3. Look for numeric value before alphabetic characters separately;
    • eg. 10 M 10 D 91 M
    • If look for M. It become 10 91
    • If look for I. It become
    • If look for D. It become 10
  4. Sum the output separately
    • If look for M. It become 101
    • If look for I. It become
    • If look for D. It become 10
  5. Print the original column one at output file first column followed by total sum of M, I, and D;
  6. If any column is empty then print 0;

Basically this is how I think to archive my goal.
Thanks.
