awk or python to join alternating columns
Hi,
here is my input
Code:
TEST-SAM-A6ZZ SM-S6KV 0 0 2 1 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 3 1 3
1361 SM-HA4Q 0 0 2 1 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 3 3 3 4 2 4 2 2
276217 SM-H9ZG 0 0 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 3 2 2 2 2
GC15458 SM-HAQX 0 0 2 1 2 3 1 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 3 1 3 2 2 2
18331 SM-HA5E 0 0 2 2 2 3 1 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 3 3 3 2 2 2 2
TEST-SAM-AN7H SM-MGFV 0 0 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 3 1 3
TEST-SAM-AGRV SM-HB4V 0 0 2 1 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 3 1 3
TEST-SAM-A7P5 SM-S6PE 0 0 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 3
TEST-SAM-A6MQ SM-S6NR 0 0 2 2 2 3 1 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 3
TEST-SAM-A6LP SM-S6MQ 0 0 2 1 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 4 1 4 2 1 3 1 3

Output needs to join two columns each starting at col 7 till end of line.
Code:
TEST-SAM-A6ZZ SM-S6KV 0 0 2 1 23 33 22 22 11 22 13 13
1361 SM-HA4Q 0 0 2 1 33 33 22 22 11 22 13 33 42 42 2
276217 SM-H9ZG 0 0 2 2 33 33 22 22 11 22 33 13 22 22
GC15458 SM-HAQX 0 0 2 1 23 13 22 22 11 22 13 13 22 2
18331 SM-HA5E 0 0 2 2 23 13 22 22 11 22 13 33 22 22
TEST-SAM-AN7H SM-MGFV 0 0 2 2 33 33 22 22 11 22 13 13
TEST-SAM-AGRV SM-HB4V 0 0 2 1 23 33 22 22 11 22 13 13
TEST-SAM-A7P5 SM-S6PE 0 0 2 2 22 11 22 22 11 22 33 33
TEST-SAM-A6MQ SM-S6NR 0 0 2 2 23 13 22 22 11 22 33 33
TEST-SAM-A6LP SM-S6MQ 0 0 2 1 33 33 22 22 41 42 13 13
