How to search for multiple lines and put them into one paragraph?
Dear all,

I'm trying to manipulate a data file and putting a certain lines into one paragraph.
What am I actually want to do is that search some lines in a data file. These lines begin with "1\1\GINC-" and end with "\\@" or the following two empty lines as shown in blue.

A part of the text shows as follows, (the sign "==>| |<==" is used to show that each line begins with a space, which is not contained in the original file. The original file also shown at the end of this post for your script testing.)

Code:
==>| Symmetry A    KE= 5.003963609647D+02|<==
==>| Symmetry B    KE= 2.202693107013D+02|<==

The expect output file is,

Code:

the original file is put as follows for testing.

Sorry for my poor English. I hope I have made myself clear. In short, get the blue part and put into one paragraph.
Thank you in advanced for your kind help.
