Welcome to LQ,

And is this a homework question? The data looks a
bit fabricated ...

Cheers,

Please post a sample of the actual file contents, and a sample of what you want the output to look like.

Also post what solutions you have already tried, and what the issues are.

Finally, does the assignment tell you specifically to use SED and AWK?

No answer from OP means that this was likely homework.......closed.
