I have a textfile named table1.txt and I want to write the records in one line. If the next line do not have any date before the line or there is a blank, this line should be paste on the first line. I would appreciate any help in solving this problem. I tried to do this, but not working

tr -s " " table1.txt > notab.txt

06/15/2007 02:28:47  TABLE "nmmp_" -  18,015,000 BYTES, 342,712 ROWS

I need the records to be written this way:

An awk solution :

#!/usr/bin/awk -f
# Awk program : join.awk

/^[0-9][0-9]\// { if (line) print line; line=""}
                { gsub(/[[:space:]]+/, " "); line = line $0 }
END             { if (line) print line }

Output:

$ [COLOR=blue]join.awk table1.txt[/color]
06/15/2007 02:28:47 TABLE "nmmp_" - 18,015,000 BYTES, 342,712 ROWS ARCHIVED FOR THIS STREAM
