Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

Please advise. Scoured this site, as well as google for answers. However if you do not know what to search for, it's a bit hard to find answers.


INPUT:

Code:

ACTASS=
802
BASECOS=
279
COSNCHG=
3
CUSCOS=
52
UPLDCOS=
2

DESIRED OUTPUT:

Code:

ACTASS=802
BASECOS=279
COSNCHG=3
CUSCOS=52
UPLDCOS=2

If solved can someone please direct in the correct route for a newbie scripter to find this answer. I am think search and then append bottom line to = sign.

Thank you to anyone that takes the time to explain. I have gained so much useful knowledge at this site.

Regards,
Abacus

Code:

awk '{ORS=(/=/)?X:RS}1' file

Holy Crap,
Amazing. I hate to ask you. However I have been studying awk and I will try to look this up. However can you please break this down.

I am thankful if you choose not too.

Thanks,

Abacus

PS: I am out of bits to award you. I will try however.

HEHE

SOLVED

If you want to take the shortcut take a look at awk cheat sheet
What I did was just playing with ORS value, between RS and X(has no value, is NULL).

Success

Code:

while read -r line
do
    case "$line" in
        *=)
            printf "%s" $line
            read d
            echo $d
            ;;
    esac
done <"file"

Another one:

Code:

while read -r line
do
	case "$line" in 
		*=) printf "%s"   $line;;
		*)  printf "%s\n" $line;; 
	esac
done < file

Code:

sed 'N;s/=\n/=/' infile

Code:

sed 'N;s/\n//' infile
