Using awk, is there a way to remove newlines in strings that don't contain 1_ at the beginning, but without setting RS="1_" in the BEGIN section and without using a END section as well?
input:
1_this is line 1
aaaaaaaa
bbbb
1_this is line 2
cccc
1_this is line 3
dddddddddddddd
eeeeeeeeeee
ffffffff
to get this output:
1_this is line 1|aaaaaaaabbbb
1_this is line 2|cccc
1_this is line 3|ddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeffffffff
I think we cannot use RS in a sub function.
Code:
gawk '{
if ($0 ~ /^"1_"/){
sub (/$/,"|")
}
else{
sub (/RS/,"")
}
}1'

It works with that except that a "\n" is missing in the last line:

Hello, there. I have a file that's a horrible, horrible mess. (Basically, it's an export from a firewall config.) The people who generated the file didn't think that putting a newline in the middle of a hostname would ever be a problem. It is.
Here's an example of the stuff in the file:

DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk

...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
