Hi,
How to parse a file that has more than 199 columns. 'awk' fails when line is having more than 199 fields.
Is there a way to resolve this...what i am thinking is to strip off all those columns beyond 199 & then parse. Do you have any script for stripping off the columns outside 199?

Thanks
Siva

How about a Perl script? Perl can parse any number of columns.
