generic bash parsing

Ok, so I'm confusing myself alot... too much grep / sed / awk...

I have a file which I want to parse in bash:

hello = "goodbye"
test =  "this line is
continued"

I can't seem to force sed, or anything else, to work with the line continuation...
maybe I can pre-parse it and remove newlines that have a "" before it... *shrug*
any help?

Re: generic bash parsing

as you asked for new line removal, someone posted a link to advanced sed tricks, maybe you could modidy the one for newline-removal to remove only \n (in c-notation).

Re: generic bash parsing

yeah, I would remove the newlines first..

sed '/\[ ]*$/N;s|\[ ]*n| |g'

Re: generic bash parsing

I don't think that every new line should be removed, but this should do the trick (remove newline directly preceeded by a slash):

sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n//g'

but don't ask me how it works wink - just copy and paste programming (I modified one script)
