Multiline concatination 1

[demis001]

How I can concatinate
>1
AAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCC

To get
>1
AAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCC

I have tried the following and it only capture the first line and stops.

awk '/^>/ {print; "\t"; getline; print}' $*

 

[codemut]

Try: awk '{ORS=""; if(++n>1) print}'

 

[PHV]

awk '/^>/{if(FNR>1)print x;x="";print;next}{x=x $0}END{if(x>"")print x}' $*

Hope This Helps, PH.

Zedlan, yours didn't work!

Do we have to use awk?

xargs < datafile|sed 's/ //g'

Another cat-skinner:

sed -n 'H;${x;s/\n//gp;}' datafile
