iterative parsing

Shell Programming and Scripting

I have always struggled when parsing a file vertically vs. by line horizontally. Can't seem to get my head around the concept. Here again I need to convert vertical output to horizontal output.

original output

SCHED to SCHEDSG represents one schedule. I need to map out each schedule horzintally
example:

Yearly 15724800 0 0 64800 0 0 0 0 SCHEDPOOL SCHEDRL SCHEDFOE SCHEDSG 
Monthly 1209600 0 0 64800 0 0 0 0 SCHEDPOOL SCHEDRL SCHEDFOE SCHEDSG 
DAILY 86400 72000 72000 0 72000 72000 72000 72000 SCHEDPOOL SCHEDFOE SCHEDRL SCHEDSG 
Weekly 86400 0 0 64800 0 0 0 0 SCHEDPOOL SCHEDRL SCHEDFOE SCHEDSG

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

That worked really well but how did it work. Please if you don't mind take the time to break it down for me. I would really like to understand this better.

Alternatively:

awk 'NR>1{print $2,$5,$20,$22,$24,$26,$28,$30,$32,$42,$50,$61,$72}' RS= infile
