Ok let's make it work : go in ksh first!
ksh
Then retry with nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk (but not simple 'awk')
nawk -v N="$(( $(grep '>' yourinputfile | wc -l) ))" '{A[NR]=$0}END{for(i=0;++i<=N;){for(j=0;++j<=NR;)if(j%N==i%N) print A[j];print}}' yourinputfile

It looks like the sample file is working. I will run my big file over the weekend to try to validate the results.
ctsgnb,
Can you explain to me the structure of your code? I need to understand what the i's and the j's do. How does the system know which line to retrieve and where to place them in the file.
Once again, I appreciate the help.
Great! I need to take this one step further:
I have this input file
and I want to get this output
The formula to get the value Cloumn is as follows:
Of course the program needs to scan the file to look for a parenthesis. Everytime, it sees one, put that value into a different column, performs the calculation and prints the output.
I hope you get the idea.
You are appreciated.
