Try this command

Code:

  

grep -v '^$' remove_wp.txt | sed -e 's/ //g' -e 's/    //g' | sed 'N;N;s/\n//g'

Code:

tr -d '\n\t ' < kumar.txt

kumar.txt contains the tab, white spaces and new line delimited lines.

Dear Friends,
thanks for ur replis,

it will be a great help if u solve the following problem

I am using csplit to split the files,
i.e.,
csplit -f filetype_ -n 3 filename '/regexpn/' {5}
which will split file "filename" into 5 subfiles
filetype_000
filetype_001
filetype_002
filetype_003
filetype_004

but if I run the csplit commad again it will rewrite the previous subfiles.
What I need is to continue with existing files
i.e., if I run the csplit command,
it should continue to split files and produce follwoing subfiles
filetype_005
filetype_006
filetype_007
filetype_008
filetype_009

do not affecting
filetype_000
filetype_001
filetype_002
filetype_003
filetype_004

and finally I should have
filetype_000
filetype_001
filetype_002
filetype_003
filetype_004
filetype_005
filetype_006
filetype_007
filetype_008
filetype_009

please tell me how do I proceed.

Thanks in advance,
Kumar
