Hi,
I would like to know how to solve one of my problems using expert unix commands.
I have a file with occasional blank lines;
for example;
dertu
frthu
fghtu
frtty
frtgy
frgtui
frgtu
ghrye
frhutp
frjuf
I need to edit the file so that the file looks like this;
1
dertu
frthu
fghtu
2
frtty
frtgy
frgtui
3
frgtu
ghrye
frhutp
frjuf

That is: I want to grep or find the blank line and sequentially number the blank lines and print that number in the blank space.
Hope you guys understood what I wanted.
Please let me know the best way for doing this;
