I was missing a step to get it to recalculate NF. Fixing the line you quoted:
combines adjacent partial lines and recalculates the number of fields on the newly combined line, and then the next line in the script:
prints the reconstructed partial lines (as well as printing any lines that were complete to start with.
This updated script:
when given the feedfile.txt that you uploaded, saves the following in fixed_feedfile.txt:
which I would think would be more useful than stripping out the 3 lines that were reconstructed from the partial lines in your input file and producing a single, concatenated, partial line containing 49 (not 51) fields (with no trailing <newline> character).
The space shown in the middle of the text shown in red above is because there is a space before the carriage return character in the 7th line in feedfile.txt which can be seen in the output from the cat -vet feedfile.txt you showed us in post #5 in this thread.
Since my last threads were closed on account of spamming, keeping just this one opened!

File2 - has 30 rows.
Command 'paste file1 file2 > file3' joins all lines.

Hi,
I need to develop a script to join multiple three lines in a log file into one line for processing with awk and grep. I looked at tr with no success. The first line contains the date time information. The second line contains the error line. The third line is a blank line.
Thanks,
