But you seem to assume that each variable consists of a sequence of strings that are the same length. If that assumption is not true, this answer fails to satisfy the meaning that would be assumed by an ordinary English interpretation of the word “columns”. (2) Also, this solution can exhibit undesired behavior if the variables include blank lines. (3) If you know how to implement everything within awk, why not show such an answer? | |
