Thanks
Well...what I meant was: when it finds a line with "pause", search one line after another from top down for a line with a matching first column (letter-id) that contains "continue". Then take the "continue" line and MOVE it to the end of the first one, keeping all the characters of both lines so instead of two separate lines you get one longer line in place of the first.
The input is already sorted in a way that although more lines than just two can have the same id, if a line with an id contains "pause", than the next line with the same id will contain "continue", in the same way that interrupted processes work.
EDIT: Could you please comment how your piece of code works? I don't really understand it much :-(
