Hum.... Let me see if I understand.... You want to remove CRLF if the next field/line start with a tab? Which will result in joining the lines?
Coule you also take a small sample of adjoining lines and upload the original and the desired files?
Wouldn't it be easier to correct the (line breaks in the) cells in your spread sheet program (CALC, EXCEL, etc ...) than having people in here puzzling over this undecipherable file? Shooting in the dark, try
will remove all <carriage-return><newline> character pairs from a file named file. It produces exactly the same output as the code RudiC suggested in post #11, but uses a slightly different approach to get there. If you want to try either of these on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
The screenshots you provided in post #9 do not provide any useful information to us. (At least not to me.)
Note that the file you uploaded in the file testdata.txt in post #5 contains lots of <carriage-return><newline> character pairs, but it does not contain any <carriage-return> characters that are not immediately followed by a <newline> character.

I have 2 files:
File1

File2
001-9031234-001|12345

I am building a script that will execute programs using records/fields in a file as arguments.
Before I start testing that, I am working on reading the file properly and using printf to display the fields in the file.
