Thanks again,
It can happen that X,Y,Z is no the last column but lets say the 2nd, 3rd last, its custom.
But these values are always under the same column.

Thanks

variable 'xyz' denotes the column you want to take into account:
Code:
nawk -v xyz=3 '!FNR%2 {print prev,$xyz;print $0,l;next} {prev=$0;l=$xyz}' inputFile

Hi,

First thanks for all your replies.
Sorry I made mistake when explaining
This is how my file looks like:
INPUT:
Code:
c1  c2  c3   c4  c5   c6     c7 etc.
 *   *    X     *    *    X1     *
 *   *    Y     *    *    Y1     *
 *   *    Z     *    *     Z1     *
 *   *    W   *    *    W1    *

etc.

(the column position of tho values- X,X1 can be custom) c1-c7 is column number
Values X1-W1 should be replaced with values X-W.

This is what I need:
OUTPUT:
Code:
c1  c2  c3   c4  c5   c6    c7 etc.
 *   *    X     *    *    Y       *
 *   *    Y     *    *    X       *
 *   *    Z     *    *    W       *
 *   *    W   *    *    Z        *

etc.
BTW I use RH5 Linux , I dont have nawk ,just awk.
Thanks a lot.
