nice... thank you very much

now i'll try and figure out how that works!!

---------- Post updated at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous update was at 07:57 AM ----------

I've been playing around with this a little and was trying to fix a problem; i.e. there should be a space where the newline has been merged

so instead of
Code:
R|This isline 5

I want
Code:
R|This is line 5

changing to this:
awk 'NR==1{printf $0;next}/^R/{print ""}{printf " "$0}' file4

nearly worked!
