Place variables at the beginning of each line
Hello all,

I am very new to the shell scripting and I hope someone can help me with this.
I have thousands of files with certain format of information and I need to do this for all my files.

For each file, grab the numbers in the first and second rows and place them in the position 1 and 2 of the rest rows.
The numbers of the first and second rows are different for each file and also each file has different number of rows.

Here's the examples:

Code:
ptrfghbc 44.23
mkhtwsbhp 234.51
1995 56 26 26358 266665 251 32
1995 65 58 22355 551223 352 25
1996 32 52 55852 255632 335 25

I'd like to have something like this:

Code:
ptrfghbc 44.23
mkhtwsbhp 234.51
44.23 234.51 1995 56 26 26358 266665 251 32
44.23 234.51 1995 65 58 22355 551223 352 25
44.23 234.51 1996 32 52 55852 255632 335 25

Your help is much appreciated.
