Thread: Linux text manipulation: sort columns according to the first row
let's have 50,000 rows of data looks following:
b d c z e f ......
3 1 4 1 9 2 3 ......
...... ......
0 1 3 4 2 4 8 ......
, want sort columns of data according first row, such output looks like:
b c d e f ...... z
1 3 1 4 2 3 ...... 9
...... ......
1 0 4 3 4 8 ...... 2
how do that?
tried transpose columns rows using "awk," , use "sort" command, , transpose use "awk."
awk doesn't work if number of columns exceed ~33k, happens when rows first transposed columns, i.e., transposing didn't work me.
idea how this?
in advance.
is pasting openoffice version of spreadsheet , using sort function there, pasting file not option? if have lot of them, can use openoffice spreadsheet thingy automate process.
