Below is a partial dataset. I would like to modify it so that x1 and x2 are on one line with their associated date. That is:
date           x1       x2
01jan2009	.2	.2
07jan2009	.09	.07
etc.
I have been trying to do this using replace, but sometimes x1 is missing and sometimes x2 is missing. So I come (on bended knee) to the LIST for assistance. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
date	      x1	x2
01jan2009	.	.2
01jan2009	.2	.
07jan2009	.09	.
07jan2009	.	.07
13jan2009	.	.2
13jan2009	.19	.
19jan2009	.	.17
19jan2009	.18	.
25jan2009	.14	.
25jan2009	.	.15
31jan2009	.21	.
31jan2009	.	.21
Thanks.
