HI Rudi,

Thanks for the response
\n\r are ascii control characters, also I meant double quotes where I have mentioned single, I am not proficient in Unix and primarily a PL/SQL developer so don't have an idea how to proceed properly however I could only think of replacement of double quotes

Code:
 sed s/\"/\""/ a.txt > b.txt
