Hi list At university, we have an old spectro-photometer, that spits out its data in ASCII formatted files. The problem is, The data I get is sorted in lines rather than in columns (See examples below). Is there a progam (preferably command-line) that can do swap the rows to columns, and vice-versa. I need something that makes "Search and replace two spaces by a \newline" and afterwards a bit of rectangle-editing in emacs obsolete.
Here comes the example: ... The file I get from the photometer ... 0.000 -0.000014 0.007990 0.013480 0.017795 0.021675 0.028663 0.032588 0.038895 0.044002 0.050834 1.000 -0.000962 0.038026 0.069427 0.085865 0.108307 0.140563 0.166330 0.195794 0.223759 0.252516 --- end file --- ... And I have to change it to ... -0.000014 -0.000962 0.007990 0.038026 0.013480 0.069427 0.017795 0.085865 0.021675 0.108307 0.028663 0.140563 0.032588 0.166330 0.038895 0.195794 0.044002 0.223759 0.050834 0.252516 --- end file --- This is a rather short example, this is OK to be done by hand, but imagine 20 rows of 20 samples... Annoying, isn't it? Thanks for any pointer joerg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
