I have multiple entries. I am trying to build a text file to use with
nsradmin to create groups, clients and schedules.

e.g. 

nsradmin -i <filename> -s <server_name>


Thanks

Somen

Do you only have one entry, or do you have multiple ones?

If you only have one, this is trivial..

perl -e 's/\n//; END { print "\n"; }' /your/file/here

If you can't stand the extra whitespace on the line...

perl -e 's/\n/ /; s/^\s*//; END { print "\n"; }' /your/file/here

sed/awk/tr solutions also possible, but I'm usually using perl when I'm
reformatting all sorts of networker output.

Can I ask if you're reformatting to feed back to networker, or into
something else?
