Dear all,
I want to transform one2many like table to one2one table. Original table looks as follows:

1|Michael
1|Alex
1|Bob
1|Pete
2|Bob
2|Andre
2|David
2|Alex
3|Pete

and the output should be similar to;
1|Michael Alex Bob Pete
2|Bob Andre David Alex
3|Pete

Table is large (4 GB), so I think the best idea is to process first n lines with unique id, print the result line and then process further. But I have no idea how to do that...

while(<>){
   chomp;
   ($id,$name)=split(/\|/,$_);
   $previous_id=$id;
   if($id eq $previous_id){
       push(@array,$name);
   }
### ???
}


Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Best, Andrej
