Hi, I'm having an array that has 6 cols/fields and a col/field can have either a single line or multiple lines. So, I can say a array looks like as : 

('col1 : line1
col2 : line2',
'col2 : line1',
'col3 : line1',
'col4 : line1',
'col5:line1
col5:line2',
'coll6 : line1
coll6 : line2
coll6 : line3
coll6 : line4'
);

and I want to print the content of array as : 


col1:line1|col2:line1|col3:line1|col4:line1|col5:line1|col6: line1
col2:line2||||col5:line2|col6:line2
|||||col6:line3
|||||col6:line4
