Computer [SOLVED] splitting a single column(with spaces) into multiple rows

Hi All,
My requisite is to split a single column of phonemes seperated by spaces into multiple rows.
my input file is:
Code:
a
dh
u

th
a
qn
ch
A
v
U
r
k

my o/p should be like:

Code:
adhu                      a dh u 
thaqnchAvUrk      th a qn ch A v U r k

please make sure that the code should work in TCSH.

Like this?
Code:
awk '{t=$0;gsub(/\n/,"",$0);gsub(/\n/," ",t);print $0,t}' RS= file

Small variation:
Code:
awk '{$1=$1; p=$0; gsub(FS,x); print $0,p}' RS= file

i have one more doubt regarding this.
the same input file filled with silence instead of white space,i used the simple print command to get the o/p mentioned above.but am not getting.the code is

Code:
if ("$a" == "sil") then  #a is the input file
echo "\n"
else
printf "%s" "$a"
printf "%s " "$a"

i know that printf "%s" "$a" gives :adhu
and printf "%s " "$a" gives :a dh u
but i dono how to make it as :adhu a dh u
this may be silly...anyway i need help.
