Re^3: Join lines that match an string

Right, unlike the other solutions, that one joins the line with the terminator and the next one. You could write

perl -wpe 'if ((/\bremotely\b/.../\bp_args\b/) !~ /^$|E0/) { chomp }' 
+a

but that's a bit ugly, or decide that the flip-flop shortcut isn't appropriate in such case and track the flag by hand, such as

perl -wpe 'if (($_f ||= /\bremotely\b/) &&= !/\bp_args\b/) { chomp }' 
+a

Linuxer your code is great as Ambrus one and yours keep the last line where it shoudl be, just to end this, how could I insert a blank where there was a line feed (\n)? because in some cases I need to separate the info and in others no Again thanks for your help	[reply]

Read Re: Join lines that match an string again, for it has two examples that both don't join the line after the p_args line, and do add a space if there'd be none where the lines are joined.	[reply]
