Something like this ?
awk '/Physical/{printf "%s",$0;getline}1' /path/to/input

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks, Vlad. As usual, I made it longer than it had to be.

ORS=(NR%2)?FS:RS

 

[ranjit]

Could some one please explain the below notation, as in the above example.

ORS=(FNR%2)?



Thanks

As in C, [tt]ORS=(NR%2)?FS:RS[/tt] means:
[tt]ORS= (if (NR%2) FS else RS)[/tt]
