converting rows to clumns using shell script
I have a script which converts rows to columns.
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!!"

realpath
realpath(3) Library Functions Manual realpath(3)
NAME
realpath - Resolves pathname
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
char *realpath(
const char *file_name,
char *resolved_name);
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
realpath(): POSIX.1, XPG4-UNIX
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
DESCRIPTION
The realpath() function derives, from the file 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 PATH_MAX bytes, in the buffer pointed
to by resolved_name.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the realpath() function returns a pointer to the resolved name. Otherwise, realpath() 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
If the realpath() function fails, errno may be set to one of the following values: 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 PATH_MAX or a pathname component is longer
than NAME_MAX. A component of file_name does not name an existing file or file_name points to an empty string. Insufficient storage space
available. A component of either path prefix is not a directory.
