there are 2 inputs. One file contains the integers I want in 1 column, the other one is ordered into 4 rows with different numbers of columns (I need to switch the numbers from the single-column file into their respective counterparts in the 4-row different-number-of-columns file)
one-column file input:
4.5454
6.46643
9.23423
15.42362
141.43535
151.35235
193.353
multiple column file input:
6.5432 8.54353 14.3535 16.34324
21.5235 45.4363 75.454
output would look like:
4.5454 6.46643 9.23423 15.42362
141.43535 151.35235 193.353
(same column/row structure as the 2nd file but with the numbers from the 1st file)

COLUMN(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLUMN(1)
NAME
column -- columnate lists
SYNOPSIS
column [-tx] [-c columns] [-s sep] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The column utility formats its input into multiple columns. Rows are filled before columns. Input is taken from file operands, or, by
default, from the standard input. Empty lines are ignored.
The options are as follows:
-c Output is formatted for a display columns wide.
-s Specify a set of characters to be used to delimit columns for the -t option.
-t Determine the number of columns the input contains and create a table. Columns are delimited with whitespace, by default, or with
the characters supplied using the -s option. Useful for pretty-printing displays.
-x Fill columns before filling rows.
column exits 0 on success, >0 if an error occurred.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS The environment variable COLUMNS is used to determine the size of the screen if no other information is available.
EXAMPLES
(echo "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY HH:MM/YEAR NAME";
ls -l | sed 1d) | column -t
