Request for horizontal formatting code
The input file contains 4 bytes per row
Code:
 
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
* * * 108
 
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
* * * 108

I need to put them in a horizontal manner and this need to repeat after every 108 lines lso the output comes as
Code:
1 2 3  4 5  6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ..... 108
1 2 3  4 5  6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ..... 108

What have you tried and what errors did you get?

So, you want to group every 27 lines? (27 * 4 = 108)

Look at this site.

For every 108th line
Code:
awk 'ORS=NR%108?",":"\n"' input >output

For every 27th line
Code:
awk 'ORS=NR%27?",":"\n"' input >output

Try:
Code:
xargs -n108 < file
