Print consecutive numbers in column2

Hi,

I have an input file of the following style

input.txt
Quote:
1 -1 3 4 .................... 4000
2 -1 4 5 ..................... 4000
4 -1 6 7 ...................... 4000
3 -1 17 19 ....................4000
The 4000 at the end indicates the total no. of columns in that row.

I would like to replace all -1s with consecutive 1 and 2 and print the whole line again.

So, the output would be

output.txt
Quote:
1 1 3 4 .................... 4000
2 2 4 5 ..................... 4000
4 1 6 7 ...................... 4000
3 2 17 19 ....................4000
Thanks in advance.

NAME
xtell - sends a message to another computer running xtelld SYNOPSIS
xtell [-v] [user[:tty][@host[:port]]] [message] write user [tty] DESCRIPTION
How to use it: suppose you want to send a message to user gubas on computer trener.fsport.uniba.sk Just type: prompt:~% xtell gubas@trener.fsport.uniba.sk Hi To send multiple lines long message to user 7tokarova at computer pascal.fmph.uniba.sk, type prompt:~% xtell 7tokarova@pascal.fmph.uniba.sk Hi How are you today Please answer ^D in this case, finish sending messages with EOF (CTRL D) If you want to send message to user holik on local computer, you can do it either by typing: prompt:~% xtell holik@localhost Hi or simply: prompt:~% xtell holik Hi To send message to certain tty, append the tty to username, separated by colon: prompt:~% xtell stanys:ttyp2@reaktor.ip.fmph.uniba.sk 'Sveikas Tomai' will send message 'Sveikas Tomai' to user stanys on ttyp2 at computer reaktor.ip.fmph.uniba.sk To specify other port than the default 4224, append the port to computer name, separated by colon: prompt:~% xtell bosa@radon.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk:4000 'Ahoj' assumes the xtell daemon runs at computer radon on port 4000, and sends the message 'Ahoj' to user bosa. Option -v turns verbose mode on. Xtell will then display some messgaes about connecting, which is usefull especially when the connection is slow. Example: prompt:~% xtell -v rybar@dmpc.dbp.fmph.uniba.sk xtell invoked without parameters will ask user for username and host to send the message to. If the user has created in his/her/its home directory the file .xtell-log, and the file is writable by nobody, all messages will be written to this file as well as to the screen (handy when the screen is overwritten and you could not see the message). xtell checks the environmental variable XTELLPROMPT. If it exists, it is used as prompt for messages. Last notice: if you do not think zsh is the best shell, (besides doing a mistake) replace prompt:~% in above text with prompt:~$ or what- ever :-) AUTHOR
