If your code are working means i can just sort it more cleanly using row, as the usefull output data. Smilie
Works for me, but perhaps your sed is braindead. Try replacing \n with \x0A.

Inserting newlines in most versions of sed require you to do something like the following
Code:
sed -e 's/ = /=/g;s/ /\
/g'

Here is a short example:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

TMP=file.$$

cat <<EOT >$TMP
total-octets = "20080718214210Z" total-pages = "" octets-completed = "20080721064351Z" pages-completed = "2" processing-time = "12"
EOT

sed -e 's/ = /=/g;s/ /\
/g' $TMP

rm $TMP

exit 0

Yes I think it may be sed/shell version issue, I only use bash and sed on Linux.
