Hi Jim,

I have a huge file close to 30,000 lines.
And i am having carriage returns in some cases that i want to get rid off. When i use the sed command you specified for 7 to 10 lines
sed -e :a -e '$!N;s/\n //;ta' -e P -e D it works for me but when i put it across the big file it doesn't.

Eg..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
java.net.SocketTimeoutException:
I would like to have java socket error in the same line as A.

Regards,
Gagan

# if a line ends with 16 "A", replace the CR with a space
sed -e :a -e '/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA$/N; s/\n/ /; ta' datafile
