Remove newline character from column spread over multiple lines in a file
Hi,
I came across one issue recently where output from one of the columns of the table from where i am creating input file has newline characters hence, record in the file is spread over multiple lines. Fields in the file are separated by pipe (|) delimiter. As header will never have newline character, I am trying to compare if other rows have same number of fields as that of header and if number of fields in particular row is less than number of fields in header line then I am removing newline character at the end of the line. I was able to do this for row spread over two lines but, I am not getting correct output for lines spread over multiple lines.
Below is test input file and expected output file -

Expected output file -
Below code worked for row spread over two lines -
I also tried below code but it is not giving expected output -
Can someone please help me in this?
Below an example of what I mean. The first attempt does what I want; the second doesn't, because bash assumes a line break means the end of an individual "command unix". Is there some way that I can convince bash to parse out, eg, to the closing parenthesis?

locale::language5.18
Locale::Language(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Language(3pm)NAME
Locale::Language - standard codes for language identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Language;
$lang = code2language('en'); # $lang gets 'English'
$code = language2code('French'); # $code gets 'fr'
@codes = all_language_codes();
@names = all_language_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Language" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying languages, such as those as defined in ISO 639.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639 two-
letter codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying languages. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lang = code2language('en','alpha-2');
$lang = code2language('en',LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha-2, LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_2
This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-1, such as 'he' for Hebrew. It also includes additions to this set
included in the IANA language registry.
This is the default code set.
alpha-3, LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_3
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) bibliographic codes from ISO 639-2 and 639-5, such as 'heb' for Hebrew. It also includes
additions to this set included in the IANA language registry.
term, LOCALE_LANG_TERM
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) terminologic codes from ISO 639.
