Hmmm... is there a compiler for that in /ports?

5,m,n

And the expected Output file
1,a,b,c
1,d,e,f
1,g,h
3,f,g,h
3,i,l
5,m,n

I used this method
awk -F, '$1!=p1{printf "%s,%s,%s,%s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4} $2!=p2{printf "%s,%s,%s,%s\n",$1,$5,$6,$7,$8; p1=$1;p2=$2}'

the no of coloumns in source file is of varriable length and can grow upto 3000.

Code:

perl -F, -nae'if($#F){s/((?:(?:.*?),){3}[^,]*)/$1\n$F[0]/g;print}' filename
