I'm trying to sort file below using code below.I'm sorting this file by character 7 to 11 (i.e in first line it is TO1BD),which it does.After sorting I want to do is number each line.for e.g. in first line I want to replace 000200 (first six digit ) 000001 and in second line I want to replace first six digit by 000002 and so on. For that I'm trying to use for loop. but its not working.I need suggestion for that...If someone can point to me what am i doing wrong in for loop.. Thanks Input file: 000200T01BDS100000C100001121220001002000000000000006906SQ, 000020T01BWS100000AT01B20000220001002000000000007203267Ele 000190Z80BWS100000C300000155420001002000000000000902500OUTSO 000019B02BWS100000AT01B20000220001002000000000057563144Avaya 000001T01ADS100000C200000213920001002000000000002755000ST
