A textfile looks like this:

word1 word2 word3 word4 word5 word6 ...

I want to make it look like this:

word1 word2
word2 word3
word3 word4
word4 word5
....

so that every adjacent pair of words appears as one line of the new
file.
Can someone give me a quick clue how to accomplish this? Many thanks.

awk -v RS=' ' 'ORS=NR%2?FS:"\n"'

which however adds a trailing newline, or also

awk '{for(i=1;i<NF;i+=2) print $i,$(i+1)}'

printf '%s %s\n' $(<infile)

or

tr \ \\n < infile | paste - -

awk '{for(i=1;i<NF;i++) print $i,$(i+1)}'

Ignore please (just saw Hermann Peifer's reply and re-read the original
post).
