hi Disedorgue,
in code
Code:
awk '{B=A;A=$0};NR > 1 && $0=B"#"A ' file

I got the code how it is working but i have a doubt.In the highlighted part how pattern matching and action is being performed together?. && is between action and pattern matching.As we know that action is performed in braces , otherwise default action is print $0 if braces are not used.Kindly explain.
