This should do the trick:

 awk '
BEGIN{s="";}
{
        if($0 ~ "text")
        {
                if(length(s))
                {
                        print s;
                        s = "";
                }
        }
        s=s$0;
}
END{print s}
' your_input_file
3 
awk 'function p(){if(length(s))print s}/^text:/{p();s=$0;next}{s = s "," $0}END{p()}' file

OR like this

awk '/^text:/{printf("%s%s",(++i == 1 ? "": RS), $0); next}{printf("%s%s", OFS,$0)}END{print ""}' OFS=',' file

perfect ...... Thank you.....

how do I put a space between first line and 2nd?

I'm lost. Where do you want the space? Your sample output showed that you wanted commas separating input lines in each group and didn't show double spaced lines in the output. The only spaces that appeared in your sample output was the space between text: . Do you want all of the spaces that were hidden by not using CODE tags at the start of each line other than the 1st line in each group to appear after the commas?

Please show us what output you really want (and use CODE tags this time).
