Questions:
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.
For example, if file.txt has the following content:
name age
alice 21
ryan 30
Output the following:
name alice ryan
age 21 30
Solution:
awk '{
for (f = 1; f <= NF; f++) { a[NR, f] = $f }
}
NF > nf { nf = NF }
END {
for (f = 1; f <= nf; f++) {
for (r = 1; r <= NR; r++) {
printf a[r, f] (r==NR ? RS : FS)
}
}
}' file.txt
