Merge two lines

[alhassani54]

Hi

A file contains two lines and a variable contains one characters. I would like to merge them to the same file name
i.e. file name=file1
Line one = abc
Line two = def
Variable="\"

The merge in file1 will be = abc\def

Thank you

Hi

awk -vs="[green][i]$Variable[/i][/green]" '{printf$0s;getline;print}' /input/file > file1
