New line character issue

Hi

I refered to the other link you asked me to and the below command worked

awk '/^[1-9]/{print ""};{gsub("\"\"", "");printf"%s", $0};END{print ""}' |sed -n '/^$/d;H;g;/^[^"]*"[^"]*\("[^"]*"[^"]*\)*$/d; s/^\n//; y/\n/ /; p; s/.*//; h'
1,ad,"adc
sdfd",edf
2,asd,"def
fde",asd
1,ad,"adcsdfd",edf
2,asd,"deffde",asd

1. this eliminates new line char
2. eliminates empty lines
2. preseves the double-quote in the data
4. seperate the lines(records) approprately

I wil also try the cmd which you sent right now and will update you.

Thank you very, very much for all your help. I really appreciate that.SmilieSmilie

Thanks.
