Well - sometimes my mind reading works, and sometimes - the majority of times - it doesn't.

BTW, what I proposed can be simplified (as no FS nor OFS need to be defined) to:
Code:
awk  '/^<.*>$/ {PRFX = $0 ","; print; next} {sub (/^/, PRFX)}1'  file

Hi

I ran the below command
Code:
awk '/^</{a=$0";";print $0; next} {print a $0}' ED_D_SSL______004_006_001_000_EN.oti>ED_D_VLU.txt

the output it shows as
Code:
vi ED_D_VLU.txt
"ED_D_VLU.txt" 10990 lines, 10993 characters
\377\376<

Last edited by vbe; 11-07-2016 at 01:06 PM.. Reason: more code tags

So you say it's an empty file? What's the file'e encoding? What you post seems like the introductory bytes of a UTF-16 file to me.
