Try
Code:
awk 'NF>11 {sub(/ /,"")}  1' file
UnitedStates 1.2.3.4  80  10 1563790914  1   1932454179 1.2.3.6  55517  11.1.2.1  55517

EDIT: Or, if you're unsure about the space count but know there's an IP address in the second field, try
Code:
awk '{while ($2 !~ /([0-9]*\.)[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*/) sub (/ /, _)} 1' file

Best place to start is the AWK manual: The GNU Awk User’s Guide
Then you need lot of patience, practice, reading forums like this one and think of more than one way to solve a problem Smilie

Depending on how (and by what) you further process your data you can also do it in shell directly instead of calling awk for only that purpose:

     fi
done < /path/to/input

Adjust the printf-format string to fine-tune the output format.

I hope this helps.
