Hello Brian,
Check this:
sed '/%$/{
N
s/%\n//
}' yourfile.bib
It should work from command line using bash's multiline input capability
(with the '). It checks for % at the end of lines (hence the $), then
reads the next line into the buffer and then removes the %\n sequence (I
don't quite understand, why sed can't do it with the one-liner you
mentioned, but I guess there's a good reason).
Regards,
Daniel
