Replace New line Character 2

[dbadmin]

Hi,

I need to remove the newline character for certain lines of a file. There is a word to be searched on these lines.

Ex: Input file

Network 10.1.028 2.2067 Placeholder
10.27.96
90.24.87
10.0.1
Network 10.2.028 2.2077 Placeholder
10.27.92
90.22.87
10.0.10

Output

Network 10.1.028 2.2067 Placeholder10.27.96
90.24.87
10.0.1
Network 10.2.028 2.2077 Placeholder10.27.92
90.22.87
10.0.10

I tried to remove the newline character using tr command and it makes a single line file (removes all newline characters). I need only to remove the new line character from the line with the Word "Network"

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance
dbadmin.

a way ....

#!/bin/ksh

awk ' { if($NF == "Placeholder")
           printf("%s ", $0)
        else
           printf("%s\n", $0)
} ' datafile

Using [tt]sed[/tt]...

sed '/^.*Placeholder.*$/N;s/\n */ /g' datafile
