How to transpose pieces of data in a column to multiple rows?

Hello Everyone,
I am very new to the world of regular expressions. I am trying to use grep/sed for the following:

Input file is something like this and there are multiple such files:
Code:
abc
1
2
3
4
5
***END***
abc
6
7
8
9
***END***
abc
10
11
12
***END***

I need to be able to edit the text in all of these files so that all the files look like this:
Code:
abc
1,2,3,4,5
***END***
abc
6,7,8,9
***END***
abc
10,11,12
***END***

Kindly help me. Your help is much appreciated!

NAME
ModPerl::Global -- Perl API for manipulating special Perl lists Synopsis use ModPerl::Global (); my $package = 'MyApache2::Package'; # make the END blocks of this package special ModPerl::Global::special_list_register(END => $package); # Execute all encoutered END blocks from this package now ModPerl::Global::special_list_call( END => $package); # delete the list of END blocks ModPerl::Global::special_list_clear( END => $package); Description "ModPerl::Global" provides an API to manipulate special perl lists. At the moment only the "END" blocks list is supported. This API allows you to change the normal Perl behavior, and execute special lists when you need to. For example "ModPerl::RegistryCooker" uses it to run "END" blocks in the scripts at the end of each request. Before loading a module containing package $package, you need to register it, so the special blocks will be intercepted by mod_perl and not given to Perl. "special_list_register" does that. Later on when you want to execute the special blocks, "special_list_call" should be called. Unless you want to call the list more than once, clear the list with "special_list_clear". API
"ModPerl::Global" provides the following methods: "special_list_call" Call the special list $ok = special_list_call($key => $package); arg1: $key ( string ) The name of the special list. At the moment only 'END' is supported. arg2: $package ( string ) what package to special list is for ret: $ok ( boolean ) true value if $key is known, false otherwise. since: 2.0.00 "special_list_clear" Clear the special list $ok = special_list_clear($key => $package); arg1: $key ( string ) The name of the special list. At the moment only 'END' is supported. arg2: $package ( string ) what package to special list is for ret: $ok ( boolean ) true value if $key is known, false otherwise. since: 2.0.00 "special_list_register" Register the special list $ok = special_list_call($key => $package); arg1: $key ( string ) The name of the special list. At the moment only 'END' is supported. arg2: $package ( string ) what package to special list is for ret: $ok ( boolean ) true value if $key is known, false otherwise. since: 2.0.00 Notice that you need to register the package before it is loaded. If you register it after, Perl has already compiled the "END" blocks and there are no longer under your control. See Also mod_perl 2.0 documentation.
