Hi,

I'm newbie in this forum and I already searched regarding Merge multiline into singleline but I always found different result which is I don't want it like i want.

Here is the data that i have it:
*** ALARM 711 A1/BTS "MAD08B1 08ACPA0"U 090604 1040
RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION
BTS EXTERNAL FAULT

MO RSITE CLASS
RXOCF-59 MD2026 1

EXTERNAL ALARM
TEMPERATURA ALTA
AIRE CONDICIONA
*** ALARM 710 A1/BTS "MAD08B1 08ACPA0"U 090604 1040
RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION
BTS EXTERNAL FAULT

MO RSITE CLASS
RXOCF-97 MD2059 1

EXTERNAL ALARM
FUEGO
TEMPERATURA BAJA

And the output I would likes belows:
*** ALARM 711 A1/BTS "MAD08B1 08ACPA0"U 090604 1040 RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION BTS EXTERNAL FAULT MO RSITE CLASS RXOCF-59 MD2026 1 EXTERNAL ALARM TEMPERATURA ALTA AIRE CONDICIONA

Is there any csh or Perl scripts to make it?

Thank you for your help.

This assumes your block of text always starts with * * *

Code:

awk ' {if(length(old)>0 && index("* * *", $0) > 0) 
            {print old; old=$0; next}
        old=old $0 
        } 
        END{ print old} ' logfile > newfile

if you have Python

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
data=[i for i in open("file").read().split("***") if i != ""]
for item in data:
    print "***" + item.replace("\n","").strip()

output

Code:

# ./test.py
