Hi pavand...

Before asking for help get you output requirements correct first.

You OUTPUT shows 4 lines of 9 characters, (ALL identical?), instead of 8 lines of 8 characters, (ALL identical?).

How can we possibly know which line of the first 8 OR 9 characters are needed when they all identical, or am I missing something?
