Hello nirjhar17,

You need not to use cat alnog with awk, awk could read the Input_file itself. It is working for me fine in BASH, following is the Input_file.

Code:

cat Input_file
Name: MEANS_SLP_DAILY
State: inactive
Retention Level: 3 (1 month)
State: active
Retention Level: 3 (1 month)
State: active
Retention Level: 3 (1 month)
State: active
Name: MEANS_SLP_WEEKLY
State: inactive
Retention Level: 3 (1 month)
State: active
Retention Level: 3 (1 month)
State: active
Retention Level: 3 (1 month)
State: active
Name: SLP_Irv_Arlington_Test
State: active
Retention Level: 1 (2 weeks)
State: active
Retention Level: 1 (2 weeks)
State: active
Retention Level: 1 (2 weeks)
State: active

Then following is the code for same.

Code:

awk '($0 ~ /^Name:/ && NR !=1){print A;A="";} {if((q ~ /^Name:/ && $0 ~ /^State:/) || ($0 !~ /State:/)){A=A?A OFS $0:$0}};{q=$0}' OFS="\t"   Input_file

Output will be as follows.

Code:

Name: MEANS_SLP_DAILY	State: inactive	Retention Level: 3 (1 month)	Retention Level: 3 (1 month)	Retention Level: 3 (1 month)
Name: MEANS_SLP_WEEKLY	State: inactive	Retention Level: 3 (1 month)	Retention Level: 3 (1 month)	Retention Level: 3 (1 month)

Thanks,
R. Singh
