This could be because there might be some non-ASCII characters or characters other than English. But the second table i.e. the second example above, consists of three columns separated by CONTINUE, where the first column data might consist of non-ASCII characters or something else, but the HTML structure suggested the web page parsing program that there are three columns. I can understand that this is a bit tricky. The trick is to consider each CONTINUE to separate one column in a file The output that I expect from file3 is:
pre.cjk { font-family: "Nimbus Mono L",monospace; }p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }
Code:
size alt axlt a2xlt a3xlt
waist-(on-half) 14" 15" 16" 17"
hip-(on-half) 24-3/4" 26-3/4" 28-3/4" 30-3/4"
inseam 34" 34-1/2" 35" 35-1/2"

Hi shoaibjameel123,
What happens when you apply your trick to the 1st input file still isn't clear. Did the code I suggested in post #4 do what you want, or did you want the updated 1st input file to include an empty column before the 1st output column my code produced (corresponding to the 1st CONTINUE in the input in that file)?

colrm

COLRM(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  COLRM(1)

NAME

     colrm -- remove columns from a file

SYNOPSIS

     colrm [start [stop]]

DESCRIPTION

     The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file.  A column is defined as a single character in a line.  Input is read
     from the standard input.  Output is written to the standard output.

     If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written.  If both start and stop columns are spec-
     ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written.  Column numbering starts with one, not
     zero.

     Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight.  Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.

ENVIRONMENT

     The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7).

EXIT STATUS

     The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)

HISTORY

     The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
