Fix the breaks
The file FTP'd got few breaks and the data looks like:
ABCTOM NYMANAGER ABCDAVE NJ PROGRAMMER ABCJIM CTTECHLEAD ABCPETERCA HR and i want the output like: ABCTOM NYMANAGER ABCDAVE NJPROGRAMMER ABCJIM CTTECHLEAD ABCPETERCAHR can you please help me in writing the shell script to fix these broken lines. Every line is supposed to start with 'ABC' (key positions). Also the break is always at the 11th position and continues on the next line at 4th position.. Thanks |

With a classical sed, you would have to expand that to:
Code:
sed -e ':a' -e '$!N' -e '/\nABC/!s/\n//' -e 'ta' -e 'P;D' Code:
awk 'NR>1 && /^ABC/ {printf "\n%s", $0 ; next } { printf "%s", $0 } END {print eof}'
