In your example it looks like you have groups of 3 lines of text followed by 2 lines. You want to combine the three lines of text into a single line and remove the two separating lines completely.
If this is the case:
This will first read two additional lines (to the first read line) from the file and combine these into the pattern space. The first replacement then throws out the control characters (^M and ^Y, enter them via <CTRL-V> in vi), the second replacement removes the newline characters combining the lines to one line and prints it. Then two additional lines (the separator lines) are read and discarded, since they are not printed at all, then repeat from start.
I hope this helps.
