From multiple line to one line to multiple line
Hi!

I'm using this code

Code:
grep "[0-9\.\-].* [0-9\.\-].* [0-9\.\-].*" $FILENAME >> $REPORT

to get 3D coordinates from a file (FILENAME) like this one :

Code:
0.1 0.1 0.1
2 2 2
0.03 0.03 0.03
...

and then write the coordinates in REPORT. The problem is that all lines from FILENAME appear on the same line in REPORT...

Anyone have an idea how I can copy these coordinates from one file to the other keeping track of the line by line structure?

Thanks a lot!

I already gave a input file sample. As I said, the output file from my command is the same as the input, except that everything is on one single line.

I am not getting the kind of output which you got as you mentioned with your code..

Anyway try this:

Code:
awk '/[0-9\.\-].* [0-9\.\-].* [0-9\.\-].*/ { print $0 "\n"; }' filename
