If you copy and paste the input straight from the screen here, you will not get the input right.

Hi Ghostdog,

I notice that the input file has spaces in between the strings of zeros and F's. The string should be continuous. Can you try again ?

I am stil experiencing the same error.

even if you trim the spaces between zero's and F's the following code posted by ghostdog works perfectly .

Code:
/home/kamitsin>cat in
#!/bin/sh

awk '{if( $NF == "2007" && $1 == "**" ) LINE = $0;}
END{printf("%20s\n",LINE); }' "input"

Threads like this are why folks need to mention what version of Unix is in use. awk can only support finite input lines. How long those lines can be varies from system to system. Posix says it must be at least LINE_MAX which is a constant that must appear in limits.h and that must be at least 2048. Some version of Unix can handle 4000 character lines while others can't.
