Hi guys,

Wish you all a very Happy New Year!!!.

Thanks in advance.

I want to read a file and merge the rows which have '\n' in it.
The rows could be > 50,000 bytes. The script should merge all the rows till the next row starts with word 'Type|'.
ex.

I tried using below mentioned script but AWK can't handle > 20,000 bytes. Also, using String as 'LINE_BREAK' for identification rows got merged.

FileName=LINE_TEST.TXT
FileName1=O_LINE_TEST.TXT
OUTPUT_FILE=OUTPUT_WITHOUT_LINE_BREAK.tmp
if [[ -e $FileName ]]; then
sed "s/%/percentage/g" $FileName > $FileName1
## To remove '%' as 'awk' can not handle it.

/usr/xpg4/bin/awk 'NR==1{printf $0;next}
!/^TradeType/ {printf "LINE_BREAK" $0;next}
{printf "\n" $0}
END{print ""}
' $FileName1 > $OUTPUT_FILE
fi
