Danny Yoo,

thnx for your reply. yes the following code works for one file.
###
def process(inp, outp):
    i=0
    for line in inp:
        i=i+1
        if i > 5 and i <= 76:
            outp.write((line[:12]+line[88:96])+"\n")


inp = open("S_1.OUT","r")
outp1 = open ("O_1.csv","w")
process(inp, outp1)
print "1 file copied..."

# Now close the files
inp.close()
outp1.close()
###

However, I want to add columns 3,4,5,6,.... 11 in my output file
("O_1.csv"):

outp.write((line[:12]+line[88:96])+....+......+.......+"\n")

from files "S_2.OUT","S_3.OUT"......"S_10.OUT". The data to be caprtured
from "S_2,S_3, .... S_10.OUT" files lies in the same column (say column 8)
in all the .OUT files.

I will highly appreciate your reply.

Thnx
