Hello,
I want to combine 2 lines in one
I have a text file
example:

bla123 blo31 xx:yy:zz
->bla43 bli532 00:01:02
bla1237 blo351 aa:ss:dd
->bla433 bli34332 55:10:28

I want the result to be:

bla123 blo31 xx:yy:zz, ->bla43 bli532 00:01:02
bla1237 blo351 aa:ss:dd, ->bla433 bli34332 55:10:28

in the new file

Thanks in advance

Try this:

# awk 'ORS=NR%2?", ":"\n"' text.txt

paste is also good at this...

$ paste -d" " - - < file > newfile
bla123 blo31 xx:yy:zz ->bla43 bli532 00:01:02
bla1237 blo351 aa:ss:dd ->bla433 bli34332 55:10:28
