text file processing
Hello!
There is a text file, that contains hierarchy of menues, like:
Aaaaa->Bbbbb
Aaaaa->Cccc
Aaaaa-> {spaces} Ddddd (it means that the full path is Aaaaa->Cccc->Ddddd )
Aaaaa-> {more spaces} Eeeee (it means that the full path is Aaaaa->Cccc->Ddddd->Eeeee )
Fffffff->Ggggg
Fffffff-> {spaces} Hhhhh (it means that the full path is Fffffff->Ggggg->Hhhhh)
Fffffff-> {more spaces} Iiiiiiii (it means that the full path is Fffffff->Ggggg->Hhhhh->Iiiiiiii )
I used
$ awk '{if (index ($0, "->")>0){print base $0} else {base = $0}}' j8.txt > j9.txt
to get Aaaaa-> and Ffffff-> in front of lines, but it is only one level.
How I can get full paths in front of every element? I tried to use egrep with regex '.+-+>+[^ ]+' to find Aaaaa->Bbbbb, Aaaaa->Cccc and Fffffff->Ggggg, but I also need to insert them before... And there are 4 levels.... Maybe piping...
Thank you! (I hope everyone can understand what I mean... English is not my native language)

A file contains one name per line, such as:
john doe
jack bruce

list=`(cat /path/to/file.txt)`
for items in $list
do
echo $items
done
I get:

produced on standard output. The formatting commands are listed

.hc c The character c (e.g., %) tells roff where hyphens are permitted.
.he t Header titles (even and odd) are set to t.

.ig Ignore input lines until a line beginning with .. is found.

.ix n Same as .in but continue filling output on current line.

.ll +n Line length (including indent) is set to n (65).
.ls +n Line spacing: n (1) is 1 for single spacing, 2 for double, etc.
