AWK solution using associative array:



awk '{ ips[$2]=ips[$2] $1 RS; } END { for ( i in ips ) printf("%s%s%s",i,RS,ips[i]); }' table


Output:



WY
142.163.137.27
NL
182.163.137.22
LA
150.178.157.16
162.163.137.23
NY
161.226.252.55
171.226.252.60
131.226.252.50


In case You need order as in Your provided output:



awk '!ips[$2] { ipso[++order]=$2; } { ips[$2]=ips[$2] $1 RS; } END { for (i=1;i<=order;i++) printf("%s%s%s",ipso[i],RS,ips[ipso[i]]); }' table


Output:



NY
161.226.252.55
171.226.252.60
131.226.252.50

You said you tried gawk/awk, you can create an array, in fact, a hashtable in awk, the key is your 2nd column. The values are those ips. When you put value in it, you check if there is value with that key, if true, append to the existing value. Finally, you can loop through the array, print the keys and values out, it should be in your desired format.

Could you please try following, it will give you output in same order in which ids are present in Input_file then try following.



awk '
!a[$NF]++{
b[++count]=$NF
}
{
c[$NF]=c[$NF]?c[$NF] ORS $1:$1
}
END{
for(i=1;i<=count;i++){
print b[i] ORS c[b[i]]
}
}' Input_file

    • @hivert this is not a comment. it is exactly an answer to the question, even if it doesn't contain any codes. It explains how to merge two columns to one column with the repeating word on column2 as a header

    You said you tried gawk/awk, you can create an array, in fact, a hashtable in awk, the key is your 2nd column. The values are those ips. When you put value in it, you check if there is value with that key, if true, append to the existing value. Finally, you can loop through the array, print the keys and values out, it should be in your desired format.

    Could you please try following, it will give you output in same order in which ids are present in Input_file then try following.



    awk '
    !a[$NF]++{
    b[++count]=$NF
    }
    {
    c[$NF]=c[$NF]?c[$NF] ORS $1:$1
    }
    END{
    for(i=1;i<=count;i++){
    print b[i] ORS c[b[i]]
    }
    }' Input_file
