This is my client=2
client version=1.5.6
OS version=6.7

I want it to look like this with ";" between them except the last one:
This is my client=1;client version=2.3.4;OS version=4.5
This is my client=2;client version=1.5.6;OS version=6.7
One possibility with awk:

Code:
awk '/^OS/{printf("%s\n", $0);next}{printf("%s;", $0)}' mpfsinfo

       0        Successful completion

       >0       End-of-file on input.
