Could you please advice me if there is any option in dump utility to convert the html table content into above expected format? Or else please advise me any other method (unix script) to resolve this.

I would highly appreciate your help on this.

Well, can you
Code:
cat

the file?
You should also be able to use awk, sed, grep, and other tools.

Hi joeygm

Please refer to the attached file (v4.html) in the original mail.

html is a type of file. But, you should be able to cat or other unix commands on it. So, that is to answer your issue regarding 'other than dump?'

So, what are you trying to extract?
header line?
RR line?
RR - New line?

Always just three items?

joeyg,

Could you please download the v4.html file into your pc and please open it in notepad & that will show you the "cat" of the content.

I am trying to extract the attribute values for all the lines and the number of lines will be more than 50k.

I understand all that, but am trying to get you to explain what you are trying to extract. By attribute, do you mean any line with:
Code:
<td class=

why not -dump it with 1300 or more columns (check how many you need) like this

Code:
lynx -dump -width=1300 filename.xhmtl >filename.txt

It looks like the dump has fixed width that can easily be imported as a csv-file. Else respond and something can be done to replace the blanks with commas in awk.
