Concatenating the two lines in a file - Shell Programming and Scripting

there is always a better solution,

Code:

#! /usr/bin/ksh

awk '{ if( $0 ~ /^,/ ) { printf "%s 1\n",$0 } else { printf "%s 0\n",$0 } }' file | while read
line ind
do
  if [ $ind -eq 0 ]
  then
     echo $var
     var=""
  fi
  var=$var$line
done
echo $var

exit 0

your input file had
,500,600

i believe they should also be appended with the previous lines,

o/p of the above script

Code:


a=1
b=100,200,300,400,500,600
c=700,800
d=900
