Your input file has DOS line terminators <CR> (\r, 0x0D, ^M) that prevent the script behaving correctly. DON'T use an MS editor, use a reasonable *nix editor to create the input file.

I am using vi editor and when i open file i dont see ^M, can we modify this script to achieve the given out put ? is that possible ?

Did you correct the errors (already asked in post#6)?

Try
Code:
        echo -e "$lastkey \t $count \t $total \t $average"

in the second if branch.

Code:
hi      2

Different to what? And, is it incorrect?
For the you output, add another echo line to the end of the script.

i tried below, but it is not helping , can you see where i am wrong
Code:
#!/bin/bash
lastkey=""
count=0
total=0
iteration=1
while read line
 do
  newkey=`echo $line | awk '{print $1}'`
  value=`echo $line | awk '{print $2}'`
   if [ "$iteration" == "1" ]
 then
        lastkey=$newkey
        iteration=`expr $iteration + 1`
   fi
   if [[ "$lastkey" != "$newkey" ]]
 then
        average=`echo "scale=5;$total / $count" | bc`
echo -e "$lastkey \t $count"
        count=0
        lastkey=$newkey;
        total=0
        average=0
   fi
   total=`expr $total + $value`
   lastkey=$newkey
count=`expr $count + 1`;
echo -e "$lastkey \t $count"
done

You don't want the $count but the $value.
