The solution you get here can only be as good as your description of the problem.

You say you actual CSV file has 21 columns (fields?) you the sample data you supply only has 4 line of 7 fields.

Yoda states his solution is based on the sample data, probably due to this confusion.
RavinderSingh13's solution will only work if your CSV files always starts with the digit "1" and/or contains the string "ABC".

If these are working for you all is good but if you need something that works for your actual data you might need to provide a better description of what is needed.

For example:
- how many fields are in the actual data
- are records split over more than 2 lines
- do you always need a space inserted when lines are joined (like what happens when lines 2 and 3 are joined from you sample data)

netris-sample-robot

netris-sample-robot(6)						Netris Sample Robot					    netris-sample-robot(6)

NAME

       netris-sample-robot - sample robot for netris

SYNOPSIS

       netris-sample-robot [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       The  netris-sample-robot is a sample implementation of the robot protocol. It plays quite well but isn't too hard to beat. The robot should
       be started from netris with the option -r to connect or wait for another player to join. You can also let  two  robots  play  against  each
       other in that way, if you like.

OPTIONS

       -l     Writes some log information into the file log in the current working directory. If it can't it bails out.

EXAMPLES

       To start the netris-sample-robot waiting for another connection with logfile use the following line:
	      netris -w -r 'netris-sample-robot -l'

       You then just have to start netris somewhere else which connects to that robot.

SEE ALSO

       netris(6)

BUGS

       One known bug of the netris-sample-robot is that it hangs quite often.  This was already filed as a bugreport against the package so please
       refrain from doing so again. If you have an idea why this happens or know a solution how to fix it feel free to mail us.
