I am trying to reformat tide tables from NOAA. The data comes in this format:
1 4:09 AM 17.6 H 1 10:30 AM 2.3 L 1 4:34 PM 16.8 H 1 10:52 PM 2.3 L 2 5:02 AM 17.3 H 2 11:24 AM 2.5 L 2 5:30 PM 16.3 H 2 11:45 PM 2.7 L 3 5:56 AM 17.3 H 3 12:20 PM 2.5 L 3 6:26 PM 16.2 H Each field is separated by a tab, each line has a return. I want to group all the lines that begin with a common number (1, 2, 3, etc.) into a single line, like this: 1 4:09 AM 17.6 H 1 10:30 AM 2.3 L 1 4:34 PM 16.8 H 1 10:52 PM 2.3 L 2 5:02 AM 17.3 H 2 11:24 AM 2.5 L 2 5:30 PM 16.3 H 2 11:45 PM 2.7 L 3 5:56 AM 17.3 H 3 12:20 PM 2.5 L 3 6:26 PM 16.2 H I'm thinking there might we a way to do it via GREP? FYI -- counting lines won't work, because the number of lines for each common number varies between 3 and 4 (depending upon how many tide cycles there are in the day. Any help would be appreciated.
