Join lines in a file 1

[mrmac228]

I have a file which has a format of:

start-tag,value,value,value,
,value,
,value,
,value
start-tag,value,value,value,
,value,
,value
start-tag,value,value,value,
start-tag,value,value,value,
,value

and I need all the lines associated with a start tag on the same line so that I get:

start-tag,value,value,value,,value,,value,,value
start-tag,value,value,value,,value,,value
start-tag,value,value,value,
start-tag,value,value,value,,value

I can join adjacent lines but the variable lines associated with the record is causing me grief, any pointers would be appreciated.

Mr Embarased here.

Found my solution by using the search feature. Stupidly the solution I found was from myself in June 07.

Age doesn't come itself.

Apologies for not using search first.

Code what you mean,
