The following command does almost exactly what I want: cat ./filename_introduced_user.txt | awk '{print $1" "$2; print $1" "$3; print $1" "$4; print $1" "$5; print $1" "$6; print $1" "$7; print $1" "$8; print $1" "$9; print $1" "$10; print $1" "$11; print $1" "$12; print $1" "$13; print $1" "$14; print $1" "$15; print $1" "$16; print $1" "$17; print $1" "$18; print $1" "$19; print $1" "$20; print $1" "$21; print $1" "$22; print $1" "$23; print $1" "$24; print $1" "$25; print $1" "$26; print $1" "$27}' | grep -v ' $' > another_filename_introduced_user.txt I am wondering whether it is possible to write a script to do the same but for a number of columns introduced by the user.
