hi,
I would prefer the standard shell script.

Scenario should be like that:
$3 has multiple lines.

I need to convert variable $3 which is multiple lines into one single line only. How?

Here is the example of multiple line.

>>Start of $3 variable value
Message from user AUDIT on SMDI22
Security alarm \(SECURITY\) and security audit \(SECURITY\) on SMDI22,
+ system id: 62940
Auditable event:          Remote interactive breakin detection

Process name:             _TNA147:

Terminal name:            TNA147:, _TNA147:, Host: 100.10.80.100    Po

Remote node fullname:     100.10.80.100
Remote username:          TELNET_640A5064
Status:                   %LOGIN-F-NOSUCHUSER, no such user
>> End of $3 variable value

And how to test it? For example, if I have a file contains multiple lines.

Hope to hear you soon.

Thanks.

rgds, hyliau
