bash how to transpose a column
# Basic syntax:
operation producing a column of text/data | paste -s
# Where paste -s prints the data on a single row
# Example usage:
Given a file named input_file that has these contents:
A 23
B 42
C 17
cut -f 2 | paste -s
awk '{print $2}' | paste -s
would both print:
--> 23 42 17
# Note, use the -d flag to change the delimiter of the paste output
