Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting any savant ? using AWK/SED to remove newline character between two strings : conditional removal Post 302501188 by Chubler_XL on Wednesday 2nd of March 2011 11:18:10 PM

My solution #1 (no dependance on blank lines) produces the following output for your 2nd example:

Code:
Begin Transaction ;
She sells
sea shells
by
the
sea shore
End Transaction ;
Begin Transaction ;
For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore
 Then I'm sure she sells sea-shore shells.
End transaction ;
Begin Transaction ;
The shells she sells are sea-shells, I'm sure.replace function ()Blah

How is the program to know to stop joining lines at replace function () ? Should it to stop joining once a fullstop char (".") is encountered?

RT::Client::REST::Transaction(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			RT::Client::REST::Transaction(3pm)

NAME
RT::Client::REST::Transaction -- this object represents a transaction. SYNOPSIS
my $transactions = $ticket->transactions; my $count = $transactions->count; print "There are $count transactions. "; my $iterator = $transactions->get_iterator; while (my $tr = &$iterator) { print "Id: ", $tr->id, "; Type: ", $tr->type, " "; } DESCRIPTION
A transaction is a second-class citizen, as it does not exist (at least from the current REST protocol implementation) by itself. At the moment, it is always associated with a ticket (see parent_id attribute). Thus, you will rarely retrieve a transaction by itself; instead, you should use "transactions()" method of RT::Client::REST::Ticket object to get an iterator for all (or some) transactions for that ticket. ATTRIBUTES
id Numeric ID of the transaction. creator Username of the user who created the transaction. parent_id Numeric ID of the object the transaction is associated with. type Type of the transactions. Please referer to RT::Client::REST documentation for the list of transaction types you can expect this field to contain. Note that there may be some transaction types not (dis)covered yet. old_value Old value. new_value New value. field Name of the field the transaction is describing (if any). attachments I have never seen it set to anything yet. (I will some day investigate this). created Time when the transaction was created. content Actual content of the transaction. description Human-readable description of the transaction as provided by RT. data Not sure what this is yet. METHODS
RT::Client::REST::Transaction is a read-only object, so you cannot "store()" it. Also, because it is a second-class citizen, you cannot "search()" or "count()" it -- use "transactions()" method provided by RT::Client::REST::Ticket. retrieve To retrieve a transaction, attributes id and parent_id must be set. INTERNAL METHODS
rt_type Returns 'transaction'. SEE ALSO
