Hello nez,

How about this one then? I am sorry I couldn't test it since I don' have my logged into any server so tested on a online editor with 2 lines. Pretty sure should be faster Smilie

Code:
xargs -d'-' -n 3 <  Input_file | sed -E 's/ /-/g;/^$/d'

Thanks,
R. Singh

Hi @rdrtx1
In your version, progress is 2.7MiB/s
If a little change
Code:
awk '{getline b; getline c; print $0"-"b"-"c}' RS='-'

  • speed will rise a little 3.7MiB/s
  • version from @RavinderSingh13 4.5MiB/s as mine 5.0MiB/s
  • version from @RudiC 28.0-40.0MiB/s process speed is volatile.
so while 'tr' + 'paste' is not in competition
Thanks
