Converting rows to columns using shell script
I have a script which converts rows to columns.
Code:
file_name=$1
mailid=$2
#CREATE BACKUP OF ORIGINAL FILE
#cp ${file_name}.xlsx ${file_name}_temp.xlsx
#tr '\t' '|' < ${file_name}_temp.xlsx >  ${file_name}_temp.csv
#rm ${file_name}_temp.xlsx
pivot_row=`head -1 ${file_name}`
sed 1d ${file_name}>Sandeep
print "QUARTER\tMETRIC\tMETRIC_VALUE" > pivot_results.xlsx
#LOOP WHILE ROWS ARE LEFT
while IFS= read line
do
   counter=1
        curr_line=$line
        curr_metric=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d","`
        curr_value="dummy"
        #LOOP WHILE COLUMN VALUES FOR THE CURRENT ROW ARE NOT NULL
        while [[ $curr_value != "" ]];
        do
                ((counter=counter+1))
                curr_value=`echo $line | cut -f${counter} -d","`
                if [[ $curr_value != "" ]]; then
                        curr_pivot_value=`echo $pivot_row | cut -f${counter} -d","`
                        print "${curr_pivot_value}\t${curr_metric}\t${curr_value}" >> pivot_results.xlsx
                fi
        done
done < Sandeep
rm Sandeep
echo "Pivoting completed successfully!!"
uuencode pivot_results.xlsx pivot_results.xls | mailx -s PIVOT $mailid
echo "Result mailed to specified id!!"

for example the input is like this
Code:
1990    1991
kiran     201     202

and the output should be like this
Code:
1990     kiran         201
1991     kiran         202

but iam getting the output as
Code:
1990    kiran        201
1991
           kiran        202

LEARN ABOUT HPUX

realpath

realpath(3X)															      realpath(3X)

NAME

       realpath - resolve pathname

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       The  function  derives, from the pathname pointed to by file_name, an absolute pathname that names the same file, whose resolution does not
       involve or symbolic links.  The generated pathname is stored, up to a maximum of bytes, in the buffer pointed to by resolved_name.

RETURN VALUE

       On successful completion, returns a pointer to the resolved name.  Otherwise, returns a null pointer and sets errno to indicate the  error,
       and the contents of the buffer pointed to by resolved_name are undefined.

ERRORS

       The function will fail if:

	      Read or search permission was denied for a component of
				     file_name.

	      Either the	     file_name or resolved_name argument is a null pointer.

	      An error occurred while reading from the file system.

	      Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving
				     path.

	      The		     file_name argument is longer than or a pathname component is longer than

	      A component of	     file_name does not name an existing file or file_name points to an empty string.

	      A component of the path prefix is not a directory.

       The function may fail if:

	      Pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result whose
				     length exceeds

	      Insufficient storage space is available.
