Hi,

How can I concat two lines to one in a file? Easy question I think but didn't find the answer with search..

xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx
yyy,yyy,yyy

->

xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,yyy,yyy,yyy

If your file is like this sample.

hello hello hello
fine fine fine
xxxxxxx xxxxxxx
fine fine fine

and you want this result:

hello hello hellofine fine fine
xxxxxxx xxxxxxxfine fine fine

then use this:

awk 'BEGIN{i=1}{i=i*(-1); if (i==-1) printf $0;else print $0}' filename

bye,

paste - - < file
