Why not use Perl? $ perl -p0e '$_=~s/(.)\n(.)/$1 $2/g' < 1.txt This is a test file, what I am trying to do is get the lines to join. It isn't a complicated thing, but I also want to keep the paragraphs separate. $ perl -p0e '$_=~s/(.)\n(.|\n)/$1 $2/g;$_=~s/ \n/\n/g' < 1.txt This is a test file, what I am trying to do is get the lines to join. It isn't a complicated thing, but I also want to keep the paragraphs separate. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
