Power Joining broken lines
I have a plain test file with a delimeter '[|]'. In this file some lines are broken into two. The first part of these broken line will have 6 columns and the second part will have 4. These broken lines will be consicutive.
I want to join the two consicutive lines which are having 6 fields and 4 fields respectively. A perfect line will have 12 fields and each perfect line will end with '{}' even the second half of the broken line will have the '{}'

example
of a broken line
Code:
1[|]2[|]3[|]4[|]5[|]6[|]7
[|]a[|]b[|]c[|]d{}


a correct line
Code:
1[|]2[|]3[|]4[|]5[|]6[|]7[|]a[|]b[|]c[|]d{}

Can any one please help me to sort this out..
