How to search for multiple lines and put them into one paragraph?
Dear all,
I'm trying to manipulate a data file and putting a certain lines into one paragraph.
What am I actually want to do is that search some lines in a data file. These lines begin with "1\1\GINC-" and end with "\\@" or the following two empty lines as shown in blue.
A part of the text shows as follows, (the sign "==>| |<==" is used to show that each line begins with a space, which is not contained in the original file. The original file also shown at the end of this post for your script testing.)
Code:
==>| Symmetry A KE= 5.003963609647D+02|<==
==>| Symmetry B KE= 2.202693107013D+02|<==

Sorry for my poor English. I hope I have made myself clear. In short, get the blue part and put into one paragraph.
Thank you in advanced for your kind help.

The idea is to use the 'sed' work to get some continuous data begin with "1\1\GINC-" and end with "\\@". These two points are unique in my data sheet. So, It works!
The second line 'tr' is used to delete the "\n" at each line and put these multiple lines into single line. The parallel command 'sed "s. ..g"' is used to remove the empty space in the text, which is introduced in the original data file. Although it may remove all the single white space in the data file and put some some words into a continuous string. I don't mind this, becasuse my interest is to get some numbers stored in the data, which may be beaked by the "\n" at the end of each line and the "withe space" the the beginning of each line. So, Work is done.
Thanks. If I was not able to make myself clear, pardon me for my English. Learning a good English is my dream.

Hi all,
For a intro UNIX course I'm taking, I need to use the command "tr" to display a file on standard output without any newlines (all on one line).
I assume I would start with "cat filename | tr" but don't know what to put after tr.
Any ideas would be lovely!
Thanks. (3 Replies)
