you have inconsistent format of the 'movie names' and "move name". Here's how to accommodate both. (Somehow gawk's RS='' doesn't work as described in 'man gawk' - makes the code a bit hairy):
Hi,
I have the following data in the format as shown (note: there are more than 1 blank spaces between each field and the spaces are not uniform, meaning there can be one blank space between field1 and field2 and 3 spaces between field3 and field4, in this example, # are the spaces in between...

why does sed 's/.* //' show the last word in a line
and
sed 's/ .*//' show the first word in a line? How is that blank space before or after the ".*" being interpreted in the regex?
i would think the first example would delete the first word and the next example would delete the second... (1 Reply)
I've got a report I need to make easier to read Using sh on HP-UX 11.12.
In short, I want to search for a regular expression and when found, examine the next line to see if it's blank. If so, then delete both lines. If not blank, move on to the next regexp. Repeat.
So far I've got:

Dear All,
In a CSV file, say that a given column has been extracted. In that column, information is missing (i.e. blank lines appear). I would like to replace the blank lines by the last valid line (not blank) previously read.
For example, consider the extract below:

DOCBOOK2GJOTS(1) General Commands Manual DOCBOOK2GJOTS(1)NAME
docbook2gjots - Convert a DOCBOOK file to gjots format (on stdout)
SYNOPSIS
docbook2gjots [ DOCBOOK-file ]
DESCRIPTION
docbook2gjots converts a DOCBOOK XML file into gjots format.
docbook2gjots uses gawk(1) to perform the conversion.
<preface>, <chapter>, <section>, <sect1>, <sect2>, <sect3> and <sect4> tags are used to define NewEntry and NewFolder boundaries. They
should definitely have <title> tags.
This is a quick and dirty hack using gawk(1) and does no formal checking of XML or SGML syntax nor does it validate against the DOCBOOK
DTD. Consequently, if the syntax of the file is broken the conversion will probably fail.
It is intended that a round-trip can be made so that gjots(1) can be used as a tool at all stages of DOCBOOK production - mainly as an out-
line processor to help the author organise and order the work. A document may well start its life in gjots(1) as the initial thoughts are
marshalled. As the document forms up, it can be converted to DOCBOOK with the following command which automatically adds tags such as
<?xml...>, <para> etc:
gjots2docbook -b file.gjots >file.xml
docbook2pdf file.xml
Or, starting with an existing DOCBOOK file:
docbook2gjots file.xml >file.gjots
In the latter case, the document will already have a lot of DOCBOOK tags so to convert back to docbook, add the -e and -p options:
gjots2docbook -b -p -e file.gjots >file.xml
docbook2pdf file.xml
