Question Search a text, and Join the next line.
Hello Everybody,

I am New to Unix Environment, and need some help.

Basically i have got a file named XYZ.txt with following pattern.

Code:
CR Len:102 Typ:1 Nro:71818037 Chk:1 Tim:2011-07-16/08:46:03 oiw:3 oTy:145 oAd:50206 diw:0 dTy:145 dAd:919399951328 SMC:919821900040
iTm:2011-07-16/08:46:03 dat:0 tcl:1 mLn:95 pid:0 srr:62 def:0 sde:LM-UPFJOY 
con:0-0-0 spe:0 dcs:0 ame:1 pri:4 vms:919821000001 ims:N/A                    
CR Len:102 Typ:1 Nro:71818038 Chk:1 Tim:2011-07-16/08:46:03 oiw:3 oTy:145 oAd:50206 diw:0 dTy:145 dAd:919848170499 SMC:919821900040
iTm:2011-07-16/08:46:03 dat:0 tcl:1 mLn:95 pid:0 srr:62 def:0 sde:LM-UPFJOY 
con:0-0-0 spe:0 dcs:0 ame:1 pri:4 vms:919821000001 ims:N/A

Now what i got to do is after the word LM-UPFJOY "a space" and then Join the next consecutive line.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.
Abhi

awk solution:

Thanks Yazu for your prompt reply,
but i am so sorry to say that i gave an error saying,
Code:
sed: Function /LM-UPFJOY *$/ {N; s/ *\n/ / } cannot be parsed.

Kindly help.

In case of Mirni's solution, it gave some weired results as following.

Code:
CR LM-UPFJOY en:102 Typ:1 Nro:71818037 Chk:1 Tim:2011-07-16/08:46:03 oiw:3 oTy:145 oAd:50206 diw:0 dTy:145 dAd:919399951328 SMC:919821900040
iTm:2011-07-16/08:46:03 dat:0 tcl:1 mLM-UPFJOY n:95 pid:0 srr:62 def:0 sde:LM-UPFJOY M-UPFJOY 
con:0-0-0 spe:0 dcs:0 ame:1 pri:4 vms:919821000001 ims:N/A                    
CR LM-UPFJOY en:102 Typ:1 Nro:71818038 Chk:1 Tim:2011-07-16/08:46:03 oiw:3 oTy:145 oAd:50206 diw:0 dTy:145 dAd:919848170499 SMC:919821900040

con:0-0-0 spe:0 dcs:0 ame:1 pri:4 vms:919821000001 ims:N/A

Which I guess had replaced the L in Len:102 by LM-UPFJOY.
Kindly Help.

You can try:
Code:
sed  '/LM-UPFJOY *$/ {
N
s/ *\n/ / 
}' INPUTFILE

There are too many seds in *nixes.
