It joins every other line. Line 1 is joined with line 2. Line 3 is joined with line 4. And so on. I tested it and it works for me. Sorry it doesn't work for you. Smilie

I've only tested this under Linux...

Code:
#!/usr/bin/sed -nf

/^$/d
N
s/\n/:/g
p

Then invoke with

foo.sed file_name

I get the output
Code:
a bc ef:b rv
bcef gd:brne du
hud rdv:cjeu miu

Any good?

Cheers
