Hello srilu,

Welcome to forums. Could you please try following, since you have provided only this much sample so solution is as per sample Input_file only.
Solution 1st:

awk -v FS="\n" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){print $i}} END{print RS}' ORS=""   Input_file

Solution 2nd:

awk -v RS="" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){print $i}} END{print "\n"}' ORS=""   Input_file

Thanks,
R. Singh

Hello Srilu,

Rushing while posting your questions will not help us. I think you have never posted like you want the changes inside the Input_file? If this is the case then you may need to take the output of my command into a temp_file and then rename it again as your Input_file like as follows.

awk '{VAL=$0 !~ /^<code/?(VAL?VAL ORS $0:$0):(VAL?VAL $0:$0)} END{print VAL}'   Input_file > temp_file && mv temp_file  Input_file

I hope this helps you, if your requirement is different then please take sometime and rephrase your questions in detailed manner so that we could try to help you.

Thanks,
R. Singh
