sure this is possible but without any sample input data and wished output format nobody will help you in this.

Agreed. I use bash scripts for my cgi and output plenty of data, building HTML on the fly.

For example, I have a help topics page for my wife that is entirely scripts. I add a small text file, and the script formats it and puts it on the webpage in alphabetical order.

I.e:

Clothing_And_Shoes

would be the name of the text file, and inside would be some simple information.

Here's a copy of a script named ShowHelp.cgi that would be called from index.shtml (SSI must be enabled) and would output the text files:

#!/bin/sh
cnt=0
printf 'content-type: text/html\n\n'
LST=`ls|grep -v cgi|grep -v html`
for i in $LST
 do
  cnt=$(($cnt+1))
  LNK=$i
  NM=`echo $i|tr '_' ' '`
  printf "<tr><td align=justify bgcolor=white><center><a name=$LNK>Note $cnt:<b>��$NM</b></center><br>"
  printf '<table border=0 align=center cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 bgcolor=white><tr><td align=justify>'
  cat $i
  printf "<p align=center><a href=#TOP>Top of Page</a></p>"
  printf "</td></tr></table>"
  printf "</td></tr>"
done

Hopefully that will help, but as scarfake said, without some information of what precisely you need, we're just guessing.
