Hello!!! I've just in a old post how to join 2 lines into 1. I need to do similar but I don't know the amount of lines that I must join beforehand.
For example:
TEXT1 123 41 51 TEXT2 12 TEXT3 12 13 14
...and I want that the output like this:
TEXT1 123 41 51 TEXT2 12 TEXT3 12 13 14 ..and so on. Any suggestions?

How could the following line
if matchre "$line" "TEXT"
be transformed to match any given combination of 6 digits (my database ids) instead of the string TEXT?
