# DESCRIPTION:
#
# This script takes data file, and extra attribute as inputs, and gives output
# data file in a particular format. It also addes extra attribute in beginning
# of each line in the output file. 
# 
# Additionally, if the number of fields in a line in the input file does not 
# match with the number of pre-defined fields, then such lines are filtered 
# and are stored in a discard output file.
# 
# Version: 0.1     13-Feb-2007  Rajkumar Jain          Initial Version
