I have a file data.txt having three columns. I want to print the rest of the column if the second column is same.
data.txt 1..1524 chromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA NC_017524 +.1 1..1524 chromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA NC_016768 +.1 1..1524 chromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA NC_009565 +.1 1000808..1002415 oxidoreductase NC_009565.1 1000808..1002415 oxidoreductase NC_017528.1 1002441..1002704 hypothetical protein NC_016934.1 1002812..1003792 peptidoglycan-binding protein ArfA NC_017523.1 1002812..1003792 peptidoglycan-binding protein ArfA NC_021194.1 1002812..1003792 peptidoglycan-binding protein ArfA NC_018143.2 1002812..1003792 peptidoglycan-binding protein ArfA NC_020089.1
I want the output as:
1..1524 chromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA NC_017524 +.1 NC_016768.1 NC_009565.1 1000808..1002415 oxidoreductase NC_009565.1 NC_017528.1 1002441..1002704 hypothetical protein NC_016934.1 1002812..1003792 peptidoglycan-binding protein ArfA NC_017523.1 + NC_021194.1 NC_018143.2 NC_020089.1
I will be thankful for any help
