Thanks Hanson!
What's in my mind with tr is: replace "\n" with "\t" if the rows not connected by "\n" and "@" (That's why I wrote, !\n@, which is not a correct syntax, obviously! ). It seems I have to forget this strategy!
Now the "N" is clear in the command. Could you explain what the "1" does? Similar script I saw with awk http://wiki.ljackson.us/Awk_Command.
Thanks again!
