Shell Programming and Scripting

Code:

sed -e ':a' -e '$!N' -e '/\nABC/!s/\n //' -e 'ta' -e 'P;D'

Code:

awk 'NR>1 && /^ABC/ {printf "\n%s", $0 ; next } { printf " %s", $0  } END {print eof}'

Thanks for the reply. The AWK script works pretty well but the first record is pushed to one position left leaving a blank at the starting .The output looks like:

' 'ABCTOM NYMANAGER
ABCDAVE NJ' 'PROGRAMMER
ABCJIM CTTECHLEAD
ABCPETERCA' 'HR

and i want the output to be

ABCTOM NYMANAGER
ABCDAVE NJ' 'PROGRAMMER
ABCJIM CTTECHLEAD
ABCPETERCA' 'HR

from the original input file..


please suggest me how to get rid of this issue...Thanks!!
