For "cleaning" dos files, use the dos2unix command, if available. Other very powerful and helpful programs are iconv or recode. For just removing the <CR> chars, tr -d "\r" <ifile >ofile will do.

Back to your problem: I do not understand what you are missing in the output, or what should be removed. Pls post a few line sample of the existing output and the same few lines of the correct ouput, all based on the sample files in post #10.

Sir I found new way for existing code, just to separate variable using comma, then finally by sed command either space or tab as per my requirement. your gsub(/\r/, "") printed all variables

Sir I didn't find any changes from this sir
Sorry, the /]r/ should have been /\r/. I don't have time to work out what you need for FS and OFS; you might try just removing the place where you set FS; the default value may work with your latest input file.

The key point is that you need to tailor your script to match your input files AND YOU DO NOT HAVE A CONSISTENT INPUT FILE FORMAT.

When you tell us to come up with a solution for input files that have one or more tabs as field separators and no carriage returns in the file, you got a solution that worked for files in that format. Now you give us a pair of input files with lots of spaces as field separators and carriage returns. It is no surprise that the previous solution doesn't work with files that have a completely different input format.
