Awk records mnipulation

[santhas]

Dear Gurus,

I have an output like this:

fcp 1
aaaaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbb
1:2:3:4
dddddddd

fcp 2
vvvvvvvvvvvvvv
2:4:0:5:9:9
ccccccccccccccc
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

I want to print line 2 and line 3 next to each other
ex: bbbbbbbbbbbb 1:2:3:4

How could I do this?

Thanks again

Hi

For your sample data ( which not fully match your words ) :

awk 'NR==3{printf"%s\t",$0;next}1' /input/file

If you do not like the result, give us more information.
