As I am still not 100% clear on your specification, here is a
light at the end of the tunel:
Code:
egrep 'Real Value' input_file | \
while read mLine
do
  mFld1=`echo $mLine | cut -d'|' -f1`
  mFld2=`echo $mLine | cut -d'|' -f2`
  mFld3=`echo $mLine | cut -d'|' -f3`
  .... so on with the fields you want to extract ....
  echo $mFld1'|'$mFld2'|'$mFld3
done

Thanks Shell_Life for your help.
First: i'm not sure about "while read mLine" as it's not defined, so the script doesn't return any values.
Second: you did what i'm looking for by extracting the line first then from that line extract the fields that i need.
The only thing is how to export the data into Excel Sheet?

So lines that have the string "Real Value" should be extracted from the log file

awk '/Real Value/ { print }' logfile > to_be_exported_file

Now this file should be opened in excel application with ' | ' as the delimiter.

Is that what you are looking for ?

Hi matrixmadhan;

Not exactly; from the line i extract i need to get only a few fields, then take these fields & export them to an Excel Sheet

Cool,

requirement is getting precised now Smilie

If you are interested in fields 1 , 4, 5

Code:
awk -F"|" '/Real value/ { print $1, $4, $5 }' sourcefile > destfile

and the rest - exporting and opening remains the same

Thanks, but is there a way to export directly to Excel sheet?
If yes or no, i'm not sure how though?

I don't understand this properly though,

what do you mean by directly exporting this ?

extract the required fields from the log file and directly export into excel without a intermediate file, something like that ?
