Prinnting Cols in serial order..

Hey we can write a simple script for that.. just we need to get maximum no of columns in that file
then run below command till n ' n is the max no of cols in that file'
for i = 1 to n
$ cut -d' ' -f$i < here ur filename> | paste -s >> tmp
end
[ paste -s prints in serial order so there we are taking 1 col,2col,3col,,....ncol.. ]
