When starting a new thread it always helps if you tell us what operating system and shell you're using. Various utilities on different systems have options that vary form operating system to operating system and shells are notorious for offering different sets of features above and beyond those that are in almost all shells. If we know what operating system and shell you're using, we are less likely to make suggestions that won't work in your environment.
We are here to help you learn how to do things like this on your own; not to act as your unpaid programming staff. If you show us what you have tried to solve a problem on your own (posting your code in CODE tags) along with the sample input that you provided (please surround sample input data in CODE tags) and the output you hope to produce from that data (also, please in CODE tags) we can make better suggestions to help you get around whatever was keeping you from your goal.
In a case like this one might try something like:

Hi,
I found the following awk script to transpose multiple (3) columns to multiple rows:

BEGIN {FS=","}

for (i=1;i<=NF;i++)
{
arr=$i;
if(nf<= NF)
nf=NF;
}
nr=NR

Hi,
I did read a few posts on the subjects, tried out a few solutions, but did not solve my problem.

Please help. Problem very similar to the second link... (15 Replies)
I'm aware there are a lot of resources dedicated to the question of transposing rows and columns, but I'm a total newbie at this and the task appears to be beyond me.
I have 40 text files with content that looks like this:

Pls suggest how we can do it in UNIX.
Start using code tags, thanks. Also start reading your PM's you get from Mods as well read the Forum Rules. That might not do any harm. (24 Replies)

RAKE(1) Ruby Programmers Reference Guide RAKE(1)NAME
rake -- Ruby Make
SYNOPSIS
rake [--f Rakefile] [--version] [-CGNPgnqstv] [-D [PATTERN]] [-E CODE] [-I LIBDIR] [-R RAKELIBDIR] [-T [PATTERN]] [-e CODE] [-p CODE]
[-r MODULE] [--rules] [variable=value] target ...
DESCRIPTION
Rake is a simple ruby(1) build program with capabilities similar to the regular make(1) command.
Rake has the following features:
o Rakefiles (Rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax
to worry about (is that a tab or a space?).
o Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.
o Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks.
o Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths.
o A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.
OPTIONS --version Display the program version.
-C
--classic-namespace
Put Task and FileTask in the top level namespace
-D [PATTERN]
--describe [PATTERN]
Describe the tasks (matching optional PATTERN), then exit.
-E CODE
--execute-continue CODE
Execute some Ruby code, then continue with normal task processing.
-G
--no-system
--nosystem Use standard project Rakefile search paths, ignore system wide rakefiles.
-I LIBDIR
--libdir LIBDIR Include LIBDIR in the search path for required modules.
-N
--no-search
--nosearch Do not search parent directories for the Rakefile.
-P
--prereqs Display the tasks and dependencies, then exit.
-R RAKELIBDIR
--rakelib RAKELIBDIR
--rakelibdir RAKELIBDIR
Auto-import any .rake files in RAKELIBDIR. (default is rakelib )
-T [PATTERN]
--tasks [PATTERN] Display the tasks (matching optional PATTERN) with descriptions, then exit.
-e CODE
--execute CODE Execute some Ruby code and exit.
-f FILE
--rakefile FILE Use FILE as the rakefile.
-h
--help Prints a summary of options.
-g
--system Using system wide (global) rakefiles (usually ~/.rake/*.rake ).
-n
--dry-run Do a dry run without executing actions.
-p CODE
--execute-print CODE
Execute some Ruby code, print the result, then exit.
-q
--quiet Do not log messages to standard output.
-r MODULE
--require MODULE Require MODULE before executing rakefile.
-s
--silent Like --quiet, but also suppresses the 'in directory' announcement.
-t
--trace Turn on invoke/execute tracing, enable full backtrace.
-v
--verbose Log message to standard output (default).
--rules Trace the rules resolution.
