Since your fields are not fixed width, since you have not defined what fields are present in general (as opposed to three record sample including blank lines that you say are not present in your real data), and since we have no idea what fields will be present or where they will be located in your real data; there is little we can do to help you solve your problem.
Hi Don,
The the xlate key, xlate table, com were not on the same position in 3 records but they repeat in the same position for every 3 records. The sample which i posted here is for demo data. I attached the sample data input file. Please let me know your thoughts after seeing this.

px_get_info - Return lots of information about a paradox file

SYNOPSIS
array px_get_info (resource $pxdoc) DESCRIPTION
PARAMETERS
o $pxdoc - Resource identifier of the paradox database as returned by px_new(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns an associated array with lots of information about a paradox file. This array is likely to be extended in the future. o fileversion -Version of file multiplied by 10, e.g. 70. o tablename -Name of table as stored in the file. If the database was created by pxlib, then this will be the name of the file without the extension. o numrecords -Number of records in this table. o numfields -Number of fields in this table. o headersize -Number of bytes used for the header. This is usually 0x800. o recordsize -Number of bytes used for each record. This is the sum of all field sizes (available since version 1.4.2). o maxtablesize - This value multiplied by 0x400 is the size of a data block in bytes. The maximum number of records in a datablock is the integer part of (maxtablesize * 0x400 - 8) / recordsize. o numdatablocks - The number of data blocks in the file. Each data block contains a certain number of records which depends on the record size and the data block size (maxtablesize). Data blocks may not necessarily be completely filled. o numindexfields - Number of fields used for the primary index. The fields do always start with field number 1. o codepage - The DOS codepage which was used for encoding fields with character data. If the target encoding is not set with px_set_targeten- coding(3) this will be the encoding for character fields when records are being accessed with px_get_record(3) or px_retrieve_record(3).
