Merging lines into one - Page 2 - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

With your code snippet, and the sample input file you gave, the output I get is

Code:

#define hcv 54
 #define f 8
  #define s 354
 jae
 feh
  h
  f*h
  adssfh
{s/hcv/54/};{s/f/8/};{s/s/354/};

Can you copy and edit this, to show exactly what is wrong I don't fully understand your previous explanation.

The output you got is the one I expected to be on my machine too, but reality is different. I got only

Code:

#define hcv 54
 #define f 8
  #define s 354
 jae
 feh
  h
  f*h
morfren@Morphos:~$ ;

The strange think is that ";" appears in the next bash and the last line of /tmp/test$$ is missing. So I don't got the 2 last lines you have got in your output, but have the same code. The code was a part of code which should replace definitions on their values (preprocessor). At the begining I was thinking I have bad syntax or sth like that. Now when I can see, you have the same code that I had, the main problem would be in my shell. Thank you for your help.
