Dividing file into columns
Hi,
I have a file containing 28048 lines and I would like to split it into a a file with 3506 lines and 8 columns?
In column 1, I would like to have the first 3506 lines, in columns 2 the second 3506 lines and so on.
I've been looking around in the forum but I found very specific cases.
Is there a way to do it more in general?
Thanks,
Sarah

comm
COMM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COMM(1)
NAME
comm -- select or reject lines common to two files
SYNOPSIS
comm [-123i] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
The comm utility reads file1 and file2, which should be sorted lexically, and produces three text columns as output: lines only in file1;
lines only in file2; and lines in both files.
The filename ``-'' means the standard input.
The following options are available:
-1 Suppress printing of column 1.
-2 Suppress printing of column 2.
-3 Suppress printing of column 3.
-i Case insensitive comparison of lines.
Each column will have a number of tab characters prepended to it equal to the number of lower numbered columns that are being printed. For
example, if column number two is being suppressed, lines printed in column number one will not have any tabs preceding them, and lines
printed in column number three will have one.
The comm utility assumes that the files are lexically sorted; all characters participate in line comparisons.
DIAGNOSTICS
The comm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), sort(1), uniq(1)
STANDARDS
The comm utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').
HISTORY
A comm command appeared in Version 4 AT&T UNIX.

June 6, 1993 BSD
