I knocked up the enclosed under Cygwin:
#!/bin/sh
(
cat <<EOTx
admin ankush
admin amit
powerusers dinesh
powerusers jitendra
EOTx
) | awk '
{
grpnm[$1] = grpnm[$1] ", " $2
}
END {
for (i in grpnm) {
print i ": " substr(grpnm[i], 3)
}
}
' | sort
The meat is the AWK programme. If collects all instances of the second
column in an array indexed on the entries in the first column. At the
end of the input file it handles each element of the array in turn,
dropping the grammatically incorrect leading comma and space. The sort
just sorts lines alphabetically, as you implied. The ( cat ... ) |
construct is just to push in your test data.
Are the headings part of the file? In which case you may need to add a
line:
NR == 1 { next }
immediately after the awk line.

Subject: [CentOS] Need help in writing a shell/bash script
Hi Friends,
I am trying to write a shell script which can merge the 2 columns into
3rd one on Centos 5. The file is very long around 31200 rows having
around 1370 unique groups and around 12000 unique user-names.
The 1st column is the groupname and then 2nd column is the user-name.
1st Column (Groupname) 2nd Column (username)
admin ankush
admin amit
powerusers dinesh
powerusers jitendra
The desired output should be like this
admin: ankush, amit
powerusers: dinesh, jitendra
There are commands available but not able to use it properly to get the
desired output. Please help me
Thanks & Regards
Ankush
