You are using /directory1 as a record separator. That means awk just reads the text including \n characters which display. And not ignoring them using the default EOL operation - chop off the newline.
Try using gsub on each record to remove the newline character from $0, replace that with a space.
Whenever you mess with either pagination or carriage control you can get "unexpected results" in standard tools.

say I'm doing awk 'NR==534'
Is there a way to display 534 535 536 537?
without appending to a variable? per line? maybe an easier way with a different command?
My first impression was NR==534-537 but that would be too easy :P (2 Replies)

NAME
asa - interpret ASA carriage control characters
SYNOPSIS
[files]
DESCRIPTION
interprets the output of FORTRAN programs that utilize ASA carriage control characters. It processes either the files whose names are
given as arguments, or the standard input if is specified or if no file names are given. The first character of each line is assumed to be
a control character. The following control characters are interpreted as indicated:
(blank) Output a single new-line character before printing.
(space) (UNIX Standard only, see standards(5)) The rest of the line will be output without change.
A <newline> shall be output, then the rest of
the input line.
Output a new-page character before printing.
Overprint previous line.
(UNIX Standard only, see
standards(5)) The <newline> of the previous line shall be replaced with one or more implementation-defined characters that
causes printing to return to column position 1, followed by the rest of the input line. If the + is the first character in
the input, it shall have the same effect as <space>.
Lines beginning with other than the above characters are treated the same as lines beginning with a blank. The first character of a line
is printed. If any such lines appear, an appropriate diagnostic is sent to standard error. This program forces the first line of each
input file to start on a new page.
(UNIX Standard only, see standards(5)) The action of the asa utility is unspecified upon encountering any character other than those listed
above as the first character in a line.
To view the output of FORTRAN programs which use ASA carriage control characters and have them appear in normal form, can be used as a fil-
ter:
The output, properly formatted and paginated, is then directed to the line printer. FORTRAN output previously sent to a file can be viewed
on a user terminal screen by using:
