in reply to Editing text file

Open the file and a new file. Read the original file line by line. If the line starts with '+', remove the plus and the newline and accumulate it. If the line doesn't start with '+', print any accumulated lines and the current line to the new file.

    No need to accumulate. You can print every line, having possibly removed the newline and the + if needed.
