i think u can use only printf :-) no fancy commands
Code:
printf %s%s"\n" $(cat filename)

Here's one way to do it with Perl:

Code:
$
$ cat f4
ACTASS=
802
BASECOS=
279
COSNCHG=
3
CUSCOS=
52
UPLDCOS=
2
$
$ perl -lne '/=$/ ? printf : print' f4
ACTASS=802
BASECOS=279
COSNCHG=3
CUSCOS=52
UPLDCOS=2
$
$

And a tad shorter:

Code:
perl -lnE '/=$/ ? printf : say' f4

Or:

Code:
perl -lne 'BEGIN{undef $/} s/=\n/=/g; print' f4

Code:
perl -lne '$.%2==1 ? printf : print' f4
