I have an input file that looks like this:
aaa 111
aaa 222
aaa 333
bbb 444
bbb 555
I want to create a transposed output file that looks like this:
aaa 111,222,333
bbb 444,555
How can I do this using awk
, sed
, etc?

One way using awk
:
$ awk '{a[$1]=a[$1]?a[$1]","$2:$2}END{for(k in a)print k,a[k]}' file
aaa 111,222,333
bbb 444,555
And if your implementation of awk
doesn't support the ternary operator then:
$ awk 'a[$1]{a[$1]=a[$1]","$2;next}{a[$1]=$2}END{for(k in a)print k,a[k]}' file
aaa 111,222,333
bbb 444,555
Your new file does not cause any problems for the script, what output are you getting? I suspect it's probably a line ending issue. Run dos2unix file
to fix the line ending.

Code for GNU sed:
I made a question for this and got a very good & useful answer from potong:
sed -r ':a;$!N;s/^(([^ ]+ ).*)\n\2/\1,/;ta;P;D' file
sed -r ':a;$!N;s/^((\S+\s).*)\n\2/\1,/;ta;P;D' file
