So a few questions to start:-
- What have you tried so far?
- What errors/output are out getting?
- What OS and version are you running on?
- What are your preferred tools (ksh, bash, awk, perl, etc.)
Most importantly,
what have you tried so far?
We all give suggestions freely, but you need to make it easy for us to help you and show that you have made an effort rather than just hoping for a reply with an fully tailored solution. Depending on your set-up and preferences, there may be various ways to approach this.

column
COLUMN(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLUMN(1)
NAME
column -- columnate lists
SYNOPSIS
column [-tx] [-c columns] [-s sep] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The column utility formats its input into multiple columns. Rows are filled before columns. Input is taken from file operands, or, by
default, from the standard input. Empty lines are ignored.
The options are as follows:
-c Output is formatted for a display columns wide.
-s Specify a set of characters to be used to delimit columns for the -t option.
-t Determine the number of columns the input contains and create a table. Columns are delimited with whitespace, by default, or with
the characters supplied using the -s option. Useful for pretty-printing displays.
-x Fill columns before filling rows.
DIAGNOSTICS
The column utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS The environment variable COLUMNS is used to determine the size of the screen if no other information is available.
EXAMPLES
(printf "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY " ;
printf "HH:MM/YEAR NAME
" ;
ls -l | sed 1d) | column -t
SEE ALSO
colrm(1), ls(1), paste(1), sort(1)
HISTORY
The column command appeared in 4.3BSD-Reno.

June 6, 1993 BSD
