Combine rows with awk
I have a file of 100,000 entries that look like:

Code:
chr1	980547	980667	+
	chr1:980547-980667
chr1	980728	980848	+
	chr1:980728-980848
chr1	980793	980913	+
	chr1:980793-980913

I am trying to reformat them to into 5 columns that are tab delineated:

Code:
chr1	980547	980667	+     chr1:980547-980667
chr1	980728	980848	+     chr1:980728-980848
chr1	980793	980913	+     chr1:980793-980913

Maybe:
Code:
 awk 'NR%2{printf $0" ";next;}1 "/t"' file

Sorry scientist trying to learn, thank you Smilie.

With sed
Code:
sed 'N;s/\n//' file

Here it's simple to delete the + character:
Code:
sed 'N;s/+\n//' file
