Wired, My file is a multi-column based tab delimited file with uneven rows. It needs to be transposed to row based txt file. This is code,
bash-2.03$ more file_transpose
###file transpose, colume to row
###from unix.com/ygor, 07/29/2005

awk '{
for (f = 1; f <= NF; f++)
a[NR, f] = $f
}
NF > nf { nf = NF }
END {
for (f = 1; f <= nf; f++)
for (r = 1; r <= NR; r++)
printf a[r, f] (r==NR ? RS : FS)
}' atcc_fidler_pvs_all_markers.txt > atcc_fidler_pvs_all_markers_out.txt

The error message is,
sorgerlab-x% bash
bash-2.03$ ./file_transpose
awk: syntax error near line 3
awk: illegal statement near line 3
awk: syntax error near line 9
awk: illegal statement near line 9

Thanks for the help

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
