Question sed and Output line too long
hello

i try this command in console mode
Code:
sed -e :a -e '/[^\247]$/N; s/\([^\247]\)\n/\1 /; ta' test.txt > result.txt

i have in the output screen "Output line too long" for multiples lines

can you please tell me how can i retrieve those long lines during the execution ?

Another thing very interesting is that if i use this commandline there is no error message in output
Code:
sed -e :a -e '/[^\247]$/N; s/\([^\247]\)\n/\1/; ta' test.txt > result_noError.txt

thank you

I test your command, and don't get the error.

Which language in your txt file? Find out the language code, and run below command before your sed command.

For example, with English (default),

Code:
LANG=en_US

hello everyone

it seems that the root cause is related to the sed version.
We are using solaris 8 and this error message does not appear on sed version from solaris 9.
