I don't get it.

Why did you ask one type of output, if when you have it you don't know how to use it to insert
rows into a table in your database ?

I have the strange feeling that we all worked to output something useless Smilie

When you insert data into a table it's row by row, you have now a useless output that is col by col that is based on an output that was row by row . . .

Can i say good luck ? Smilie

I have one more thread: Korn shell program to parse CSV text file and insert values into Oracle database. I would appreciate if you have any suggestions.
My only concern is: when there is space between words for a field, i don't think i am getting correct output.

Thanks for your help.
