使用vim的另一种方法是:

:g/KEY/join

这将对所有包含KEY字的行应用一个连接(到它下面的行)。结果:

KEY 4048:1736 string 3
KEY 0:1772 string 1
KEY 4192:1349 string 1
KEY 7329:2407 string 2
KEY 0:1774 string 1

如果Perl是一个选项，您可以尝试:

perl -0pe 's/(.*)\n(.*)\n/$1 $2\n/g' file.txt

试试下面这句话:

while read line1; do read line2; echo "$line1 $line2"; done <old.txt>new_file

在中间放置分隔符

"$line1 $line2";

例如，如果分隔符是|，那么:

"$line1|$line2";

cat input.txt

KEY 4048:1736 string
3
KEY 0:1772 string
1
KEY 4192:1349 string
1
KEY 7329:2407 string
2
KEY 0:1774 string
1

paste -sd ' \n' input.txt

KEY 4048:1736 string 3
KEY 0:1772 string 1
KEY 4192:1349 string 1
KEY 7329:2407 string 2
KEY 0:1774 string 1

paste -sd ' \n' input.txt | rev | sed 's/ / , /' | rev

KEY 4048:1736 string , 3
KEY 0:1772 string , 1
KEY 4192:1349 string , 1
KEY 7329:2407 string , 2
KEY 0:1774 string , 1

更通用的解决方案(允许连接多个后续行)是shell脚本。这在每一个之间增加了一条线，因为我需要可见性，但这很容易补救。在这个例子中，“key”行以:结尾，而其他行没有。

#!/bin/bash
#
# join "The rest of the story" when the first line of each   story
# matches $PATTERN
# Nice for looking for specific changes in bart output
#

PATTERN='*:';
LINEOUT=""
while read line; do
    case $line in
        $PATTERN)
                echo ""
                echo $LINEOUT
                LINEOUT="$line"
                        ;;
        "")
                LINEOUT=""
                echo ""
                ;;

        *)      LINEOUT="$LINEOUT $line"
                ;;
    esac        
done

nawk '$0 ~ /string$/ {printf "%s ",$0; getline; printf "%s\n", $0}' filename

这读起来是

$0 ~ /string$/  ## matches any lines that end with the word string
printf          ## so print the first line without newline
getline         ## get the next line
printf "%s\n"   ## print the whole line and carriage return
