Shell script (beginner) need help...

Hello,

I'm new to Sheel script and I need your help for a script I need to develop (for me).

Indead, I have a software which log all entry from internet and save it in text file.
But, the log is practically unreadable because every 256 characters jump to a new line (even if the message is not finish).

For example (fake):
Quote:
10:02:23:124:id_0000:1:"RaZ."
10:02:23:125:id_0001:1:"A entry was detecte"
10:02:23:125:id_0001:2:"d at port 200. Pleas"
10:02:23:125:id_0001:3:"e call suport."
10:04:56:201:id_0002:1:"RaZ."
I need to transform it into:
Quote:
10:02:23:124:id_0000:1:"RaZ."
10:02:23:125:id_0001:1:"A entry was detected at port 200. Please call suport."
10:04:56:201:id_0002:1:"RaZ."
I tried some script with uniq or sort, but, I'm beginner and I need your help Smilie

Thanks a lot for your response,

Acid

[edit] the log file can be huge (100 000 lines, so it's vey unpleasant to read)
