UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I have a file that looks something like this (2 columns 4 rows):

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee -45
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr -24
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt -29
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu -23

How do I get it to look like this:

-45
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-24
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
-29
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
-23
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Thanks

Phil
