Merging lines in a file
Hi,
I want to merge the lines starting with a comma symbol with the previous line of the file.
Input :
cat file.txt
name1,name2
,name3,name4
emp1,emp2,emp3
,emp4
,emp5
user1,user2
,user3
Output
name1,name2,name3,name4
emp1,emp2,emp3,emp4,emp5
user1,user2,user3
IS there any command in unix to do this conversion for the entire file?
