Hi: I've tried to get aspell to work to check a latex document I have. I get this error message:

Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_CA".

Can anyone offer any suggestions? ...

@ctsgnb
That might work, but again, several of the files have different text contained in the first part of each document.
How do I write the output from the paste command to a file?

@Shell_Life:
The expected result is this (lines only separated at 2 of 26, 3 of 26, etc.:

I'm working on a different stage of a project that someone helped me address elsewhere in these threads.
The .docs I'm cycling through look roughly like this:

I'm aware there are a lot of resources dedicated to the question of transposing rows and columns, but I'm a total newbie at this and the task appears to be beyond me.

Ultimately, this comes from a series of files which are one news story each.

Hi all,
I'm still having problems here and am wondering if anyone can help. I've made progress on some of my other issues and the only issue yet to resolve is splitting lines in a series of .txt...

Yeah, this really isn't working. This script will work with the files which contain the string

However, I'm now seeing that many documents I'm getting contain the...

OK: now I'm trying this again, and for some reason it's failed to work.
Here is the precise script I'm running:

OK, I tried your script with a file named (data1) and it comes close to working. Except the only thing is that the modified text splits into two lines

Or rather:
could you explain precisely the syntax in the script to read the data1 file? Is data1 a filename?

drl,
I don't understand what your data1 file is.

And I'm fooling around with the sed string outside of the script, and it's not actually working, period.
s/==Document\n/==\nDocument/

Thanks, I'm trying this, but I'm getting the error message

nl: data1: No such file or directory

I have a series of .txt files, that contain lines of text separated by the following string ====================
In some of the .txt files, the string ends with the word Document, leaving the string...

Although, if you have a few minutes, and if you feel like it, maybe you could you walk me through the steps so I know what it is that it's doing? Only if you have the time though...

perfect. Thanks so much to everybody. I've learned a lot.

That's perfect. Is there a way to dump the outfiles into a subdirectory, so they're separate from the original source files?

This is very useful. Part of the problem, however is that the string "=============" also appears in frivolous manners at the top of each file. Thus, using that strictly as the only record separator...

And I'm working with bash. I'm not really familiar with the other shells. I'm new to this, so simplicity is a virtue.

Hi.
I've posted a couple of questions on my little project before, and it's been helpful, but things just keep changing on my end.
Allow me to explain.
I'm getting hundreds of .txt files, each...

Thank you Shell-Life, I've fiddled with it enough, I think I'm good to go. In the end, egrep -A works well.
Thanks for everything.

They have backslashes when viewed through unix; In the most recent example, I had cut and pasted them from a regular text editor and the backslashes don't appear.

Fair Enough shell life:
Some of the files are formatted as follows (this is the nice, unproblematic way)



The more problematic way is:
