Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Converting columns of text to rows, with blank lines Post 303007015 by lupin..the..3rd on Thursday 9th of November 2017 03:11:41 PM

Yikes, ok, I just realized it's not a blank line in between records. It's a line containing a single " " space character.

I have deleted all of those single-spaces, so the blank lines are truly blank lines, and the solution worked.

thank you!

produced on standard output.  The formatting commands are  listed
