Order text by delimiters
I try order the content from file by delimiters.
This is the text:

Code:
interface Loopback0
 description !!!RID RR_SLT
 ip address 172.31.128.19 255.255.255.255

interface GigabitEthernet0
 description !!!P_SLT GI0/0/9
 ip address 172.31.130.246 255.255.255.252

and the result that I need is:
Code:
interface Loopback0,description !!!RID RR_SLT, ip address 172.31.128.19 255.255.255.255 (line 1)

interface GigabitEthernet0, description !!!P_SLT GI0/0/9, ip address 172.31.130.246 255.255.255.252 (line2)

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Something like this should do the trick:

Code:
awk '{$1=$1}1' FS="\n" RS= OFS="," file

Code:
local $/="\n\n";
while(<DATA>){
	s/\n/, /g;
	print $_,"\n";
}
__DATA__
interface Loopback0
 description !!!RID RR_SLT
 ip address 172.31.128.19 255.255.255.255

interface GigabitEthernet0
 description !!!P_SLT GI0/0/9
 ip address 172.31.130.246 255.255.255.252
