What’s an easy way to merge multiple rows into single rows? For example, if I have the following:
$cat file
A
B
A
B
A
B
How can I convert this into:
A B
A B
A B
$awk '{total=total" "$0}NR%2==0{print total; total=""}' file

I want to be able to merge various numbers of rows into single. In the
above example, it’s 2 rows being merged into 1 but what if I need to
merge 3 into 1, such as the following:

A
B
C
A
B
C

to be converted to the following:
A B C
A B C
$awk '{total=total" "$0}NR%3==0{print total; total=""}' file

Now the enviorment:

Windows already installed and Truecrypt encrypt the whole disk. and install Ubuntu and keep Windows.

After Ubuntu installed, the Windows disappear.

Reason/Solution: Windows is encrypted with Truecrypt, so Ubuntu can’t detect the system and generate the dual-boot menu.

so we need to use “Truecrypt Rescue CD”, insert it into the computer and restart it. Then it will show: “…Install hiding operating system”

choose “No”, then it will ask your password, input your password and then go to Windows now. default it will boot into Ubuntu.

after boot into Windows. “permanently decrypt” ….then grub-install /dev/sda

we got dual-boot menu. if any better idea to keep Truecrypt with Windows. share your idea. Thanks.

When run yum search xxx, got the following Error
