Guys,
Need you help, i have a a file content that look like this.
Nokia 3330 <spaces><spaces><more spaces>+76451883874
Nokia 3610 +87467361615
so on and so forth,
- there are so many spaces in between.
- e.g. there should be space between Nokia and 3330(model)
i like the output that look like this.
Nokia 3330,+76451883874
Nokia 3610,+87467361615

Try,
$ cat inputfile | tr -s ' ' | nawk '{ sub(/ \+/,",+"); print $0 }'
try
tr -s " " " " <filename
or
GNU sed
sed -r 's/[ ]{2}/ /g' filename
Non-GNU sed
sed 's/[ ]\{2,\}/g' filename
Please see this is only to remove 2 or more consecutive spaces NOT to add comma's
Regards,

Hi agn,
Thanks it works!
Can you share how does this part works ?
nawk '{ sub(/ \+/,",+"); print $0 }'

tr -s ' '
This squeezes spaces.
nawk '{ sub(/ \+/,",+"); print $0 }
This substitues a space followed by + with a , and + and then prints the whole line ($0).
