How do you do the following? I have a series of lines which go like this
| [record separator, new record starts] AAA consectetur adipisicing elit, sed BBB lorem ipsum CCC consectetur adipisicing elit, sed CCC laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea DDD ut aliquip ex ea commodo | [record separator] AAA adipisicing elit, sed [new record starts] | is the record separator. In the above, its CCC that is repeated, but it could be any prefix. Also CCC is next to its repetition. This will always be the case. I want to go through the file. When I find a single prefix (like AAA) this should be written to the output file. when the next line starts with the same prefix (as in the CCC cases, I want to put both occurences on the same line. So the desired output would be AAA consectetur adipisicing elit, sed BBB lorem ipsum CCC consectetur adipisicing elit, sed CCC laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea DDD ut aliquip ex ea commodo EOR AAA adipisicing elit, sed How do I detect a repetition of that sort and do this? A similar question, if the line is CCC adipisicing elit, sed TAB CCC adipisicing elit, sed How do you detect the multiple occurence (I can do this with regex) and then write out in place of thie above expression (this I don't see how to do) the following: CCC adipisicing elit, sed CCC adipisicing elit, sed Obviously, the pseudo latin is different in each case, so no way to check using that.
