Concatenating multiple lines to one line if match pattern

phixsius · #1 (**permalink**) 01-24-2008

Hi all,

I've been working on a script which I have hit a road block now. I have written a script using sed to extract the below data and pumped into another file:

Severity............: MAJORWARNING
Summary:
System temperature is out of normal range.
Severity............: MAJORWARNING
Summary:
Adapter at hardware path 0/4/1/0 : Received an interrupt indicating and
Elastic Store Error Storm
Severity............: MAJORWARNING
Summary:
Adapter at hardware path 0/3/1/0 : Received an interrupt indicating and
Elastic Store Error Storm
Severity............: MAJORWARNING
Summary:
System temperature is out of normal range.

I want to format it to look like this:
"Severity:.......... Summary:........"
"Severity:.......... Summary:........"
"Severity:.......... Summary:........"
"Severity:.......... Summary:........"

so that each ocurance will be in one line

Any ideas? Hope someone can help me quickly.

Thanks
phixsius.
