Merge mutiple lines into one based on if the first word is some particular value
Hi,
trying to knock something together to create one line entries based on whether the first word on each line matches a particular value.
eg.
is some example data.
I want to have a single line of data starting from each entry beginning 'Link'
and adding entries from the following lines until we reach the next line containing 'Link' when I want to start a new line and repeat the process.
The number of lines containing 'Target' can vary.
I guess something in awk would be the preferred but i'll try anything.
thanks

appconfig::getopt
AppConfig::Getopt(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation AppConfig::Getopt(3)NAME
AppConfig::Getopt - Perl5 module for processing command line arguments via delegation to Getopt::Long.
SYNOPSIS
use AppConfig::Getopt;
my $state = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg);
my $getopt = AppConfig::Getopt->new($state);
$getopt->parse(@args); # read args
OVERVIEW
AppConfig::Getopt is a Perl5 module which delegates to Johan Vroman's Getopt::Long module to parse command line arguments and update values
in an AppConfig::State object accordingly.
AppConfig::Getopt is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.
DESCRIPTION
USING THE AppConfig::Getopt MODULE
To import and use the AppConfig::Getopt module the following line should appear in your Perl script:
use AppConfig::Getopt;
AppConfig::Getopt is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module and create an AppConfig::Getopt object through the getopt() method.
AppConfig::Getopt is implemented using object-oriented methods. A new AppConfig::Getopt object is created and initialised using the new()
method. This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::Getopt object. A reference to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the
first parameter:
my $state = AppConfig::State->new();
my $getopt = AppConfig::Getopt->new($state);
This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::Getopt object.
PARSING COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
The "parse()" method is used to read a list of command line arguments and update the state accordingly.
The first (non-list reference) parameters may contain a number of configuration strings to pass to Getopt::Long::Configure. A reference to
a list of arguments may additionally be passed or @ARGV is used by default.
$getopt->parse(); # uses @ARGV
$getopt->parse(@myargs);
$getopt->parse(qw(auto_abbrev debug)); # uses @ARGV
$getopt->parse(qw(debug), @myargs);
See Getopt::Long for details of the configuartion options available.
A Getopt::Long specification string is constructed for each variable defined in the AppConfig::State. This consists of the name, any
aliases and the ARGS value for the variable.
These specification string are then passed to Getopt::Long, the arguments are parsed and the values in the AppConfig::State updated.
See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::Getopt module via the getopt() method.
