UNIX script for text manipulation

Closed Posted 6 years ago Paid on delivery
Closed Paid on delivery

Part 1:

A text file consisting of several thousands of lines, delimited with ^Y (that is hex 19). In come cases, text from a single line will appear on the next line, looking like a new line:

111 ^Y TEXT ^Y TEXT ^Y

222 ^Y TEXT ^Y TEXT ^Y

333 ^Y TEXT ^Y TEXT ^Y

/MORE TEXT

/MORE TEXT

444 ^Y TEXT ^Y TEXT ^Y

Should be:

333 ^Y TEXT ^Y TEXT ^Y/MORE TEXT/MORE TEXT

Part 2:

When a line such as /MORE TEXT is appended to the line above, I would like the ability to wrap that text with character data, such as:

333 ^Y TEXT ^Y TEXT ^Y/MORE TEXT ch(10)/MORE TEXT ch(10)

See ch(10)
