pattern matching lines using the date, and then joining the lines
Hi Guys,

Was trying to attempt the below using awk and sed, have no luck so far, so any help would be appreciated.

Current Text File: The first line has got an "\n", and the second line has got spaces/tabs then the word and "\n"

Code:
   TIME           SERVER/CLIENT                      TEXT
02/03/2010 23:44:13 hostname02 hostname01  NBU status: 96, EMM status: No media is

                                          available

 01/03/2010 03:48:14 unknown hostname01  backup of  hostname01 exited with

                                          status 96 (unable to allocate new media for backup,
                                         storage unit has none available)

 22/02/2010 19:44:09 hostname02 hostname01  NBU status: 96, EMM status: No media is

                                          available

OUTPUT FILE:
Code:
TIME            SERVER/CLIENT                      TEXT
02/03/2010 23:44:13 hostname02 hostname01  NBU status: 96, EMM status: No media is available
01/03/2010 03:48:14 unknown hostname01  backup of client hostname01 exited with status 96 (unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available)
22/02/2010 19:44:09 hostname02 hostname01  NBU status: 96, EMM status: No media is available
