Hi all,,
I'm not sure if this is a grep or awk question. I have a file with many records of 4 lines each in it. Like this:
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 etc, etc
I need the file to look like this:
1 tab 2 tab 3 tab 4 1 tab 2 tab 3 tab 4 etc etc....
How can I do this?
Perhaps with bash? #!/bin/bash while read line1; do read line2; read line3; read line4; echo -e "$line1\t$line2\t$line3\t$line4" >> outputfile done < testfile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
