Format text output
Hello,

i've got a script based on queries which generates this output into a file

Code:
cat cron_S-PostGres-ncc_license_Simpel_ActSub_per_Product
 201502-b31s31i10            | MVNO          | 114751 | 2017-07-19
 201502-b31s31i10R60-60 | MVNO          |  62115   | 2017-07-19
 201511-b31s31i15            | MVNO          | 311970 | 2017-07-19
 Simpel PostPay                 | MVNO          |     59     | 2017-07-19
 Simpel PrePay                   | MVNO         |  10254   | 2017-07-19

I'm finding it a bit hard in order to try to do another script which opens this file and present the output in the following format:
Code:
201502-b31s31i10  - 114751 (2017-07-19), 201502-b31s31i10R60 - 62115 (2017-07-19), ...

I tried to play a bit with grep and awk, but i don't want to specifically grep any string from the first row since they may increase by time, making the grep static (i.e. by time the script needs to be altered to add the new string in grep.

can you kindly shed some light?

zgrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
