vertical to horizontal

dear all,

i'm new to unix and i try to figure out the best case for making list of vertical text to become horizontal and skip the line 1 and 2.

example text :

Data DATE XXXXX
MAX
47
53
49
51
48
48
7
46
51
8
25

I want to grep or any other way to make it like this :

47 53 49 51 48 48 7 46 51 8 25

so i dont want the Data DATE XXXXX & MAX

can u tell me how to do it, what is the best process to do this? Smilie
