I should read again the man pages for the commands most used


On my AIX box, I must use -r or -S
Quote:
-r Replaces multiple consecutive empty lines with one empty line. This flag is
identical to the -S flag.

-s Does not display a message if the cat command cannot find an input file. This
flag is identical to the -q flag.

Note: Previously, the -s flag handled tasks now assigned to the -S flag.

-S Replaces multiple consecutive empty lines with one empty line. This flag is
identical to the -r flag.
