The VALUE can contain any number of items, which can be spread on any number of lines, idented by spaces or TABs as well, bounded by keywords VALUE and RANGE
I need to write scripts which would in three steps
1) join all VALUE items into 1 line separated by SPACE like this:
2) remove last character "
3) add 2 more lines:

by multi-line VALUE:
Can anybody help please ASAP?
Thanks
