CSV processing: moving column/row value to different row where column value matches

I have a csv file with around 50 columns, can be anywhere between 20 and 100 rows.



The individual records have IDs, and some records can be in a group of 2. Essentially what I need to do is add an ID to the same row that another ID in that group is in. Example:



ID ,group,blank column
2019-1 , ,
2019-2 ,GRP1 ,
2019-3 ,GRP2 ,
2019-4 ,GRP1 ,
2019-5 , ,
2019-6 ,GRP2 ,


And the output I would like is:



ID ,group,blank column
2019-1 , ,
2019-2 ,GRP1 ,2019-4
2019-3 ,GRP2 ,2019-6
2019-5 , ,


In my attempts using awk, I haven't had any luck. I either end up leaving out rows that have no group, or I end up repeating values.

  • Thank you for the help. This absolutely does what is intended. I have next to no experience with perl however, and I am trying to implement this for use with a file that has 50+ columns. I'm not sure of the best way to accomplish this however. I basically need it to go in, and update the columns I've mentioned, but still print all the other information.
