Hi, I have a bash script and I am looking for a command that will merge specific lines together.
Sample Data:
I need each tagId with data to be on 1 line. As you can see tagid=35 is split into 2 lines and tagId 128 is split into 3 lines. Also, tagid=35 does not always have anything in the value, so I cant always append the nextline.
Im trying to find a way to search for a specific tagid, check if there is an end ] and if not, then append the nextline.
Since my script will be doing multiple other sed edits on the file output, this does not need to be output to a new file, instead it can just edit the original file.
I need the output look like the following:
Thanks for any help you can give.
