If not all empty lines are completely empty but some may contain spaces then instead of grep you could use:
Code:
awk NF file

You could then try running it through paste like Chubler suggests:
Code:
awk NF infile | paste -d\| - - - -

--
On Solaris < version 11 use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk rather than awk
