cfajohnson, your solution removed all the blank lines......
summer_cherry: I tried playing around with your solution. It came closest to what I am looking for, but I guess my requirements are a little more complicated and I didn't outline them correctly before.

Here's what I have done so far
1> remove all blank lines using sed -e 's/^$//g' file.txt > file1.txt

2> Now I have file in the following format (delimiter indicated by DL, Line Feed by LF)
------------------------
Sample Input
------------------------
[DL]
The fox jumped over the red[LF]
fence into[LF]
the orchard to eat some[LF]
grapes[LF]
[DL]
Then it came back to the[LF]
yard to hunt some[LF]
sheep[LF]
[DL]
The farmer chased[LF]
the fox away[LF]

---------------------
Expected Output
---------------------
[DL]
The fox jumped over the red fence into the orchard to eat some grapes
[DL]
Then it came back to the yard to hunt some sheep
[DL]
The farmer chased the fox away

ARRAY_DIFF_ASSOC(3)							 1						       ARRAY_DIFF_ASSOC(3)

array_diff_assoc - Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check

SYNOPSIS
array array_diff_assoc (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...]) DESCRIPTION
Compares $array1 against $array2 and returns the difference. Unlike array_diff(3) the array keys are also used in the comparison. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The array to compare from o $array2 - An array to compare against o $... - More arrays to compare against RETURN VALUES
Returns an array containing all the values from $array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_diff_assoc(3) example In this example you see the "a" => "green" pair is present in both arrays and thus it is not in the output from the function. Unlike this, the pair 0 => "red" is in the output because in the second argument "red" has key which is 1. <?php $array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red"); $array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red"); $result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2); print_r($result); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [b] => brown [c] => blue [0] => red ) Example #2 array_diff_assoc(3) example Two values from key => value pairs are considered equal only if (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 . In other words a strict check takes place so the string representations must be the same. <?php $array1 = array(0, 1, 2); $array2 = array("00", "01", "2"); $result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2); print_r($result); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 1 ) NOTES
Note This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using, for example, array_diff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0]);. Note Ensure you pass arguments in the correct order when comparing similar arrays with more keys. The new array should be the first in the list. SEE ALSO
