Transpose Rows Into Columns
I'm aware there are a lot of resources dedicated to the question of transposing rows and columns, but I'm a total newbie at this and the task appears to be beyond me.
I have 40 text files with content that looks like this:
Dokument 1 von 146
Orange County Register (California)
June 26, 2010 Saturday
--
I'd like the output to look as follows:
Dokument 1 von 146, Orange County Register (California), June 26, 2010 Saturday, --
Could be separated by comma or tab values and I have to run this on 40 .txt files so a code compatible with a loop would be useful.
I am working on Mac Os 10.6, in a bash shell. Again, I'm very new at this.
Thank you or your help. Yours, Simon Kiss

xed(1) BSD General Commands Manual xed(1)
NAME
xed -- Xcode text editor invocation tool.
SYNOPSIS
xed [-xcwrbhv] [-l lineno] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The xed tool launches the Xcode application and opens the given documents, or opens a new untitled document, optionally with the contents of
standard in.
OPTIONS
The options for xed are similar to those for the command-line utiltiies for other text editors:
-x, --launch
Launches Xcode opening a new empty unsaved file, without reading from standard input.
-c, --create
Creates any files in the file list that do not already exist. If used without --launch, standard input will be read and piped to
the last file created.
-w, --wait
Wait for the files to be closed before exiting. xed will idle in a run loop waiting for a notification from Xcode when each file is
closed, and will only terminate when all are closed. This is useful when invoking it from a script.
-l, --line <number>
Selects the given line in the last file opened.
-b, --background
Opens Xcode without activating it; the process that invoked xed remains in front.
-h, --help
Prints a brief summary of usage.
-v, --version
Prints the version number of xed
[file...]
A list of file paths. Existing files will be opened; nonexistent files will be created only if the --create flag is passed. If no
files are passed, then standard input will be read and piped into a new untitled dcument (unless --launch is passed). If --create
and at least one nonexistent file name is passed, the last nonexistent file will be created, filled with the standard input, and
opened.
HISTORY
xed was introduced in Mac OS X 10.5 with Xcode 3.0.
