@"Chubler XL" The command you have given is working 100% percent perfectly mate,I was looking at ansi2html script,was trying to convert this script only to work using shell and awk ,as I am not permitted to install new packages in my office server.I tried pretty hard yesterday but it dint work well.Please if possible help me on this(I am from java background,my unix knowledge is of begginer range)
Thanks for the help you have done so far,really appreciate the time you are spending to help novices and begginers in this forum!!, you rock.

The attached updated version should work. It does use multi-byte characters and some awk implementations may not like this, I've only tested with GNU awk.

I've replaced to attached file with a new version that avoids using UTF8 characters in awk so it should be more compatible with older awk implementations. However it looks like GNU sed is also required by other parts of the script, so it is still unlikely to run on Solaris/AIX.

You rock
