Do it this way:



echo 'Mark 150 John 221 James 134 Sara 9873' | xargs -n2

Mark 150
John 221
James 134
Sara 9873

-n max-args, --max-args=max-args
 Use at most max-args arguments per command line.

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread.
