Gents,
I did a small scritp called make_file
It read file1.txt file and generate an output as attached.. But the script is showing more extra information not needed.
I have attached the output file as desired.
Could you please help to fix this scrip to get the correct output
Thanks 
So, you give us uncommented code that does the wrong thing.
You show us an output file that contains 1Mb more than you want and an output file that contains what you want.
And, you want us to guess at what output you are trying to produce and guess at what the extra 1Mb is.
How about adding some comments to your code saying what each step is supposed to do?
How about describing what |S| and |R| records are?
How about describing in English what the output is supposed to be and how the input is supposed to be transformed into the output?
Can't you give us a representative input file of a few thousand bytes and the corresponding output that should be produced from that sample input. And, can't you post them in the thread instead of expecting volunteers to download 6.6Mb and guess at what you are trying to do?
Please help us help you. Describe what you are trying to do!
Hi Don Cragun,
Sorry to upload all the file.
Here short explanation of the case.

I have grep S and R to have a complete database from input file.
but the script prints always at the last occurrence all Lines where he find R, So I don't understand why he print all R again. This is only my problem otherwise the code works fine.
Thanks for your help
How about
awk '/Swath/ {split ($0, SWATH, " ")}
/^-+$/ && P {print; P=0}
$2~/R|S/ {$1=$1; print $0, SWATH[2]; P=1}
' FS="|" file
Dear RudiC
You are great. Thanks for your help
It works perfect and quickly
