I'm looking for a way to join lines in a file; e.,g consider the following
what i want to end up with is
so the 'real' lines start with R but there may be a line break in some of the lines therefore wanna get rid of the line break if the next line doesn't start with R|
make sense??
thanks in advance

Hi,
I need to develop a script to join multiple three lines in a log file into one line for processing with awk and grep. I looked at tr with no success. The first line contains the date time information. The second line contains the error line. The third line is a blank line.
Thanks,

Hi All
I'm struggling a bit here :(
I need a way of joining lines contained in a text file. I've seen numerous SED and AWK examples and none of them seem to be working for me.

Hi to everybody.
I have a "2n" lines file. I would like to create a
new file with only "n" lines, each line in the new
file formed by the proper odd line of the old file
joined with the following even line (separated by
a space) of the old file. I'd prefer using sed or
bash.

join
JOIN(1) General Commands Manual JOIN(1)NAME
join - relational database operator
SYNOPSIS
join [-an] [-e s] [-o list] [-tc] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
Join forms, on the standard output, a join of the two relations specified by the lines of file1 and file2. If file1 is `-', the standard
input is used.
File1 and file2 must be sorted in increasing ASCII collating sequence on the fields on which they are to be joined, normally the first in
each line.
There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 that have identical join fields. The output line normally con-
sists of the common field, then the rest of the line from file1, then the rest of the line from file2.
Fields are normally separated by blank, tab or newline. In this case, multiple separators count as one, and leading separators are dis-
carded.
These options are recognized:
-an In addition to the normal output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file n, where n is 1 or 2.
-e s Replace empty output fields by string s.
-o list
Each output line comprises the fields specified in list, each element of which has the form n.m, where n is a file number and m is a
field number.
-tc Use character c as a separator (tab character). Every appearance of c in a line is significant.
SEE ALSO sort(1), comm(1), awk(1).
BUGS
With default field separation, the collating sequence is that of sort -b; with -t, the sequence is that of a plain sort.
The conventions of join, sort, comm, uniq, look and awk(1) are wildly incongruous.
