tmp$ cat dna.txt
aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb
cccccccccc cccccccccc
endtag
tmp$ ./reformat.sh
aaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbb cccccccccc
aaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbb cccccccccc
tmp$ cat reformat.sh
#!/bin/sh
FILE=dna.txt
cat $FILE | while read LINE ; do
read FIRST SECOND <<EOL
$LINE
EOL
if [ "$FIRST" = "endtag" ] ; then
echo "$LINE1"
echo "$LINE2"
else
LINE1="$LINE1 $FIRST"
LINE2="$LINE2 $SECOND"
fi
done
It's really important the "endtag" at the end.
Good luck.
