sorry, I meant to say that my input file has upto 22k programs so I would want all this converted to 1 output file.

I'm not at a unix box at the moment to test your script... so my question is how would your script be able to convert 22k entries?

Do as I suggested in my last post and when you see the output you should be able to work out the rest.

To clarify, you have come here to help you learn how to write the scripts rather then get someone else to write them for you?
