Shell Programming and Scripting

Dear Help,
I have an input file which looks like

Code:

1        21 31 12

         21 53 65

2        78 67 53

         34 45 67

Can I print output file which looks like

Code:

.                      1 21
                       1 31
                       1 12
                       1 21
                       1 53
                       1 65
                       2 78
                       2 67
                       2 53
                       2 34
                       2 45
                       2 67

Thanks,

I might be slow, but i am at a loss how the second format comes from the first. Could you please explain (in simple words) what you want to have done? Soemthing like i want to take the first lines content and combine it with .... summing over ... and print the result indented by X spaces would help very much.

Thank you.

PS: now, with your latest change, it begins to make sense, even to me: you want to take the first element of any line starting at pos1, then combine this with every following "word" and print the result in separate lines.

You got it right Bakunin.....Cheers

What have you tried so far?

I am still trying......please let me know if you any solution to this.

Can you post what you are trying

Then show us what you are trying instead of what you have tried. We cannot tell you what you do wrong without knowing what you do (obviously).
