Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Remove line break at specific position Post 303021597 by qranumo on Monday 13th of August 2018 08:23:10 AM

Hi Joeyg,

It's not a homework. I have a file (more than 450000 lines) where all longest lines were cropped at position 171. I created a short file as an example with lines splitted in two when longer than 30 characters. I need all those lines to be concatenated, and the only way I can imagine is to remove the line break that are in specific position (position 30 in the example) as there are no string in common

Hi wisecracker,

Let's suppose that all lines with 30 characters are not complete.

I'm using a unix emulator in windows (cygwin) but I could run it in Solaris if needed.
