Dear All I have a text file with more than 300000 of lines like the following: 1 E E E 2 C D 3 B E D 4 C E D 5 D E I am looking for an automatic way of transforming my text file into another one with the format 1 E 1 E 1 E 2 C 2 C 3 B 3 B 3 D 4 C 4 C 4 D 5 E Any ideas?

I am guessing that the transformation should have been 1 E 1 E 1 E 2 C 2 D 3 B 3 E 3 D 4 C 4 E 4 D 5 D 5 E ????I'm not that great at scripting which somebody else will no doubt suggest, so personally I'd write a little C/C++ application to do it. I've got a string parsing function that I wrote to split a string into white space delimited fields and return a count of the number of fields, which would be a good starting point for this.
