Iam reading a file using C-sh script after manipulating the variables I need to dump into a new file. This in working fine but I couldn't retain the multiple spaces and tabs in a same line.
For readability I want to print it back as I read.

Now script treating multiple tabs as onl tab or space.

Please help in this regard

Please, can you show the relevant lines of the code? It's hard to guess a solution without knowing which commands you use to read/manipulate the original data and print out the copy!

Glad to see it's solved. It would be nice if you could share your newly acquired knowledge (along with a more detailed description of the problem) for future reference to other C-shell users. Thx.
