I tried that put I did not get any result.
Can you please explain to me what the code is doing?
Maybe I can explain it better also:
I have a file in which contains lines or error messages.
Those messages are deliminated with '^A' and each line has exactly the same number of values.
In my code, I take value number 1 and do something with it, value number 2 and do something with, etc, till I hit the last value.
95% of the file contains individual lines that all start with the 'low' and end with ' " 0' so those lines, I am having no trouble with.
5% of the file contains these lines over multiple lines and here is where I am running into a problem. If I try to do something with value 4, but it is on the 2nd line, then my grep gets all screwed up because i am not grepping over multiple lines.
So i need either one of two things.
Either I need to know how to grep over multiple lines so that newlines arent a problem or I need to figure out how to append all the lines that dont start with either 'low' or dont end with ' " 0"
Thanks!!
