Oh nice, This project is a better match for any such changes. BTW I did search for "GNU transpose utility" in various combinations and didn't notice this. I suggest to mention it at http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/88142/command-to-transpose-swap-rows-and-columns-of-a-text-file http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1729824/transpose-a-file-in-bash http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/79642/transposing-rows-and-columns Also maybe apply some SEO to the function names at: http://www.gnu.org/software/datamash/manual/datamash.html thanks!
