Thanks Jim.

That's what I wanted. But now the output is right aligned. Can we left align the output as it's text data.

Hi,

Not sure whether you want to put 6 original lines into each line in the new file, and the rest in the last line. If so, i think below one should be easier for you.

Code:
cat filename | paste - - - - - -
