I tried a couple of the mentioned solutions for removing the hyphenated
words from a file and they didn't work for me. Here's my solution:
file sedtest:
This is line one.
This is another long-
er line with a hyphen.
Another.
One more hyphen-
ated word.
the sed script (ssc):
/-$/ {
N
s/-\n//
}
Not the most original test, I know but...
sed -f ssc sedtest
produces the following output:
This is line one.
This is another longer line with a hyphen.
Another.
One more hyphenated word.
The trick is to add another line to the pattern space, then do the
substitution on the - and the newline.
This doesn't address the tab issue, but I thought somebody might find it
interesting.
