in sed it is easy: we have two types of lines, the ones reading "=" and the others. When we encounter a "="-line, we want to print out what we have so far, minus the newlines. If we encounter one of the other lines we want to store its contents until we encounter a "="-line.
sed has a so-called "hold space", think of it as a variable, where you can store things until you need them. We append everything to this hold space until we encounter a "="-line, then we recall the hold space, filter out all embedded newlines and print it, then start over.
In the following script i have put in comment for your understanding, remove them, because sed doesn't allow inline commenting in scripts. Furthermore, you can put the whole script on one line, replacing linefeeds with semicolons:
I have a few lines like --
feature 1,
subfeat 0,
type 3,
subtype 1,
value 0,
--

shell
shell(1F) FMLI Commands shell(1F)NAME
shell - run a command using shell
SYNOPSIS
shell command [command] ...
DESCRIPTION
The shell function concatenate its arguments, separating each by a space, and passes this string to the shell ($SHELL if set, otherwise
/usr/bin/sh).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample output of shell command.
Since the Form and Menu Language does not directly support background processing, the shell function can be used instead.
`shell "build prog > /dev/null &"`
If you want the user to continue to be able to interact with the application while the background job is running, the output of an exe-
cutable run by shell in the background must be redirected: to a file if you want to save the output, or to /dev/null if you don't want to
save it (or if there is no output), otherwise your application may appear to be hung until the background job finishes processing.
shell can also be used to execute a command that has the same name as an FMLI built-in function.
NOTES
The arguments to shell will be concatenate using spaces, which may or may not do what is expected. The variables set in local environments
will not be expanded by the shell because "local" means "local to the current process."
