What OS / shell / system is that? I'd be surprised if you could, in any tool, output 'this is continuous line ' without a print command or a line continuation char in the line before. And, the only solution I could imagine to your problem is to keep a flag for "print command started" and then check for " ' " being the first char in the next line. afaik you can't do that with sed; awk might do.
