Expected Out put:

Mod Comment edit by bakunin: PLEASE! I tried to clean out all the FONT- and what-not tags you used and ended up writing a script because it took too long to do it by hand. The only tag you should have used - CODE-tags - you didn't use at all. Spare me this and we will get along just nicely. Thank you!

Have a look at the bottom of this page, where you will find half a dozen threads dealing with exactly this. "Convert Rows to Columns" has been asked and answered so often we could fill a separate board with it.

Against popular belief it is NOT FORBIDDEN to use the search function!

I hope this helps.

I checked the following links, but I was not successful in converting rows to columns dynamically based on count. I am not very familiar with unix scripting ,I usually pick the unix commands through forums.

Wouldn't it be nice to develop some personal skills?
Anyhow, try
Code:
awk '
NR == 1 {FS = OFS = ","
         print "key, id,pulse"
         next
        }
        {gsub(/ ,/,",")
         for (i=3; i<=NF; i+=2) print $1, $i, $(i+1)
        }
' file
key, id,pulse
12, 14, 56
12, 15, 65
13, 12, 32
13, 14, 23
13, 18, 54
22, 32, 42

As the commas in both sample input and output seem randomly seeded, I took the freedom to slightly align them...
