Parsing and filtering multiline text into comma separated line
I have a log file that contains several reports with following format.
<Start of delimiter> Report1 header
Report1 header continue
Report1 header continue
Record1 header
Record1 header continue
Record1 header continue
field1 field2 field3 field4
------ ------ ------ ------
value1 value2 value3 value4
Record1 header
Record1 header continue
Record1 header continue
field5 field6 field7 field8 field9
------ ------ ------ ------ ------
value5 value6 value7 value8 value9
Record1 header
Record1 header continue
Record1 header continue
field10 field11 field12
------ ------ ------
value10 value11 value12
Report1 Footer
<End of delimiter>
<Start of delimiter> Report2 header
Report2 header continue
Report2 header continue
Record2 header
Record2 header continue
Record2 header continue
field13 field14
------ ------
value13 value14
Record2 header
Record2 header continue
Record2 header continue
field15 field16 field17 field18 field19
------ ------ ------ ------ ------
value15 value16 value17 value18 value19
Report2 Footer
<End of delimiter>
field1, field2 etc are various names and are all different and not necessarily written as field1, field2
I am interested in parsing the log file so that final output looks like this
value1,value2,value3,value4,value5,value6,value7,value8,value9,value10,value11,value12,value13,value 14,value15,value16,value17,value18,value19
I would appreciate if people throw in some ideas on how to filter the log file so that only comma separated values are printed in single line.

In Linux you can do this to put comma separated data on its own line like this.
sed 's/ */&\n/g' /tmp/ports
sed 's/ */\n/g' /tmp/ports
How do you do this in AIX? It is not working. Is there another way to do this? Something like this.
1, 2, 3, 4

extract_font_range(3alleg4) Allegro manual extract_font_range(3alleg4)
NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)
DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the
font. Example:
FONT *myfont;
FONT *capitals;
FONT *fontcopy;
...
/* Create a font of only capital letters */
capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');
/* Create a copy of the font */
fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
...
destroy_font(capitals);
destroy_font(fontcopy);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
to avoid memory leaks.
