Format output sed
For each token in this file:
Code:
Al+nHr Al+ErAqy syAsy lA TA}fy
Al+ArbEA'  $wAl

I hope to get this:
Code:
AlnHr Al+nHr 
AlErAqy Al+ErAqy 
syAsy syAsy 
lA lA 
TA}fy TA}fy
AlArbEA' Al+ArbEA'  
$wAl $wAl

So I want have this format in each line:
<token with no +><space><original token>


Is there an easy one line sed to do that?

Thanks!

When applying the same transformations to a varying number of fields in a line, I find awk easier to use than sed. I'm also not a big fan of one liners when it is much easier to read and understand formatted code. The following script seems to do what you want:
Code:
awk '{  for(i=1; i<=NF; i++) {
                x = $i
                gsub(/[+]/, "", x)
                printf("%s %s\n", x, $i)
        }
}' input

and if you insist on a one-line solution, the following is equivalent:
Code:
awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){x=$i;gsub(/[+]/,"",x);printf("%s %s\n",x,$i)}}' input
