I have a text file...

Code:

aaaaaa
bbbbbb
cccccc
1111111
aaabbb
aaaddd
ccceee
uuuuuu
2222222
fffffff
fffeee
666666
eewwww
uuuuuu
999999

I need the output file as

Code:

1111111
aaaaaa
1111111
bbbbbb
1111111
ccccc
1111111
aaabbb
2222222
aaaddd
2222222
ccceee
2222222
uuuuuu
2222222
fffffff
666666
fffeee
666666
eewwww
999999

I have no idea to do this.
Please help me to create this using any scripting language(sed/awk/perl)

Sounds like homework to me.

What languages are you familiar with, because I don't immediately see a simple command answer.

first you should explain more clearly what is the criteria for rearrangement.

Code:

print "
1111111
aaaaaa
1111111
bbbbbb
c1111111
ccccc
1111111
aaabbb
2222222
aaaddd
2222222
ccceee
2222222
uuuuuu
2222222
fffffff
666666

So far you have failed to formulate the needed algorithm - though ghostdog74 has already suggested to so.

I put as much effort in to my answer as you put in the original post.

we give support but you must reciprocate.
at least put some effort in; you have not even explained the problem!

we can't be expected to sit and work out what is supposed to be happening.
plus it's almost definitely homework by the looks of it.

we generally help those who help themselves

if you explain better, and it's homework we will give pointers but
not solutions!

ok dude?

kadhan · 07-03-2009, 01:12 AM

Ok I will explain my question.

First i need to search the first occurance of digit (111111 or 222222 like that...) and insert this same line in each line above the searched line. After this insertion search next occurance of digit and that line.

regards,
KaD.

To be fair, you're still not really putting much effort in here...
What languages do you know?
What have you tried so far?

konsolebox · 07-03-2009, 11:34 AM

Sort of really painful if we don't really understand what you want to do

By what you meant, doesn't it sound like it will have an endless or irrational output?
