Hi homeboy
How would I use your script?

Code:

egrep -e '^Client:|^Backup ID:|^Policy:' yourfile | tr ' \n' '_ ' | xargs -n3

when your inputfile is a.txt and you wanna your output to be b.txt,then
compile that code and name the executable file "program",
program < a.txt > b.txt

$ echo "Client: mem-yd-n02b
