I'm not a expert in shell programming, so i've come here to take help from u gurus.
I'm trying to tailor a csv file that i got to make it work for the LOAD FROM command.
I've a datatable csv of the below format -
--in file format
--our file format
As you can see above, each row of record is seperated by a line gap and also a row record is split into multiple lines. I've to make it in a format as shown below so that i can insert them into my informix db.
So i'm trying acheive two things here
1. Remove blank lines
2. Collide a data row splitted across multiple lines into one(by using the blank line as the end of a record)
Many Thanks!

warnquota.conf - configuration for warnquota
SYNOPSIS
/etc/warnquota.conf
DESCRIPTION
The warnquota.conf file stores a configuration for warnquota(8) tool which is used to notify a user or a group who exceeds its disk quota
limits.
The syntax is an option name followed by an equal sign and the option value. White space characters surrounding the option names and val-
ues are allowed.
Empty lines or lines starting with a hash sign or a semicolon are ignored.
An option value can but does not have to be quoted. The value can span across multiple lines provided each previous line ends with a back-
slash.
Some option values can contain formatting sequences which will be expanded to their respective values. Following sequences are recognized:
%d domain name
%h host name
%i, %s user or group name
%% literal % character
| new-line character

CHARSET Defines character set for sent e-mails. Default value will be current locale character set used when executing warn-
quota command, if locale is not either C or POSIX. Otherwise no character set will be specified in the e-mails.
