Ok, RudiC, thanks for your answer, i tryied this one but it does not the trick.
This case can happen :
,,,,,,, " ..., some text \r\n
,,,,, \r\n
,"
Here you push every line up, if the pattern space line doesn't end by , until the line ends by a comma .
Which doesn't mean the line is well formed, see this case :
,,,, " text text text text \r\n
,, some text, \r\n
,,, blabla "
here the second line get up, ends by a comma and the script stop and work with next line ...
hence this solution work with well endeing lines, but not with broken ones
i'd like to do it the sed way, but for the moment i can't figure out a proper solution.
Thanks again
