append following lines to 1st line, every 3 lines
I have output like this:
Code:
USER_ID
12/31/69 19:00:00
12/31/69 19:00:00
USER_ID
12/31/69 19:00:00
12/31/69 19:00:00
USER_ID
12/31/69 19:00:00
12/31/69 19:00:00
USER_ID
12/31/69 19:00:00
12/31/69 19:00:00
...

where USER_ID is a unique user login followed by their login timestamp and logout timestamp. How can I append the login and logout timestamps to the end of the user_id line? It would look like this:
Code:
USER_ID 12/31/69 19:00:00 12/31/69 19:00:00

I've been experimenting with this from the sed one-liners:

sed -e :a -e '/\\$/N; s/\\\n//; ta'
using this:
Code:
sed -e :a -e '/:[0-9][0-9]$/N; s/[0-9][0-9]$\n//; ta'

but it's producing:
Code:
USER_ID
12/31/69 19:00:12/31/69 19:00:USER_ID
12/31/69 19:00:12/31/69 19:00:USER_ID
12/31/69 19:00:12/31/69 19:00:USER_ID
12/31/69 19:00:12/31/69 19:00:USER_ID

Can someone advise?
