I don't see how anything could even pass the shell syntax checking stage with the statements like this: [ $col "<" 8 ].

You changed your data format again since you wrote that, so I didn't think that question still applied.

I'm with vgersh99 on this one -- the program has flaws, not just errors. Fixing it means rewriting it.

Shell doesn't use <, =, > to compare numbers, it uses -lt, -eq, -gt.
