Hi all,

I try to split one column in four columns more. But in don't find the way.

example:

I have one file with this Format:

string1
number1
number2
number3
number4
number5
string2
number1
number2
number3
number4
number5

I tried to do that the output be just like this

string1 string2
number1 number1
number2 number2
number3 number3
number4 number4
number5 number5

Thanks you for you support.






 
into my script I use this

paste BEGIN_OUT_146.txt CONT_OUT_146.txt END_OUT_146.txt ABORT_OUT_146.txt | awk '{printf "%-15s %-15s %-15s %-15s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4}'

so I get my result =)


example
BEGIN_OUT_146, CONT_OUT_146, END_OUT_146, ABORT_OUT_146
14517 1324035 23087 4333
13766 1221546 14715 4280
13049 1221041 10362 4615
12764 1147129 7586 4200
12222 1074866 6209 3863

regards!
