Given a text file file.txt
, transpose its content.
You may assume that each row has the same number of columns and each field is separated by the ‘ ‘ character.
Example:
If file.txt
has the following content:
name age
alice 21
ryan 30
Output the following:
name alice ryan
age 21 30
# Read from the file file.txt and print its transposed content to stdout.
awk ' {
for(i = 1; i <= NF; i++) {
if(NR == 1) {
s[i] = $i;
}
else {
s[i] = s[i] " " $i;
}
}
}
END {
for(i = 1; s[i] != ""; i++) {
print s[i];
}
}' file.txt
