Re: Grep help with tide table formatting
Question -- Now that you've laid it out, I understand what the expression does, except for the \1 at the end of the search pattern. What does that do? Thanks again!

Grep help with tide table formatting
I am trying to reformat tide tables from NOAA. The data comes in this format: 1 4:09 AM 17.6H 1 10:30 AM2.3 L 1 4:34 PM 16.8H 1 10:52 PM2.3 L 2 5:02 AM 17.3H 2 11:24 AM2.5 L 2 5:30 PM 16.3H 2 11:45 PM2.7 L 3 5:56 AM 17.3H 3 12:20 PM2.5 L 3 6:26 PM 16.2H Each field is separated by a tab, each line has a return. I want to group all the lines that begin with a common number (1, 2, 3, etc.) into a single line, like this: 1 4:09 AM 17.6H 110:30 AM2.3 L 14:34 PM 16.8 H 110:52 PM2.3 L 2 5:02 AM 17.3H 211:24 AM2.5 L 25:30 PM 16.3 H 211:45 PM2.7 L 3 5:56 AM 17.3H 312:20 PM2.5 L 36:26 PM 16.2 H I'm thinking there might we a way to do it via GREP? FYI -- counting lines won't work, because the number of lines for each common number varies between 3 and 4 (depending upon how many tide cycles there are in the day. Any help would be appreciated.
