Hello Tanu,

Without sample Input_file or without letting us know what you are trying to achieve, we all could guess only. So as a guess could you please try following and let us know how it goes then(seems you are using perl and didn't test it).
Code:
 my @pendJobs = `showStreamsGLIS$reg.$env.ksh  | awk '/OH|RU|OI/{sub(/^ +/,X,$0);print}'`;

Thanks,
R. Singh

       QT SVG only supports the SVG 1.2 Tiny standard and this has a limited SVG support. For example multiline text is something that is no  sup-
