I just started to pick up UNIX recently and know close to nothing about it, so please pardon my dumb question. Your code works great for my file, but it split columns by a space. How can I make it split by a tab instead? My input file is some what like this
A A B B C C
D D E E F F
and I want it to becomes the following
A A D D
B B E E
C C F F
not like this:
A D
A D
B E
B E
C F
C F
Thank you so much!

Hi I have an input file and I want to transpose it but I need to take care that if any field is missing for a record it should be popoulated with space for that field - using a shell script

Hi,
I found the following awk script to transpose multiple (3) columns to multiple rows:
#===
BEGIN {FS=","}
{
for (i=1;i<=NF;i++)
{
arr=$i;
if(nf<= NF)
nf=NF;
}
nr=NR
}
END {
for(i=1;i<=nf;i++)

Hi,
I did read a few posts on the subjects, tried out a few solutions, but did not solve my problem.

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:

split
SPLIT(1) BSD General Commands Manual SPLIT(1)NAME
split -- split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [-a suffix_length] [-b byte_count[k|m] | -l line_count -n chunk_count] [file [name]]
DESCRIPTION
The split utility reads the given file and breaks it up into files of 1000 lines each. If file is a single dash or absent, split reads from
the standard input. file itself is not altered.
The options are as follows:
-a Use suffix_length letters to form the suffix of the file name.
-b Create smaller files byte_count bytes in length. If 'k' is appended to the number, the file is split into byte_count kilobyte
pieces. If 'm' is appended to the number, the file is split into byte_count megabyte pieces.
-l Create smaller files line_count lines in length.
-n Split file into chunk_count smaller files.
If additional arguments are specified, the first is used as the name of the input file which is to be split. If a second additional argument
is specified, it is used as a prefix for the names of the files into which the file is split. In this case, each file into which the file is
split is named by the prefix followed by a lexically ordered suffix using suffix_length characters in the range ``a-z''. If -a is not speci-
fied, two letters are used as the suffix.
If the name argument is not specified, 'x' is used.
STANDARDS
The split utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
HISTORY
A split command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
The -a option was introduced in NetBSD 2.0. Before that, if name was not specified, split would vary the first letter of the filename to
increase the number of possible output files. The -a option makes this unnecessary.
