Re: can sed take take several line to produce multiple output

sed 'N;s/.*- \([^,]*\), 
\(.*\)\(\n\)[^,]*,\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\), 
\(.*\)/\2, Name=\4 2name=\5 phone=\6 phone2=\7\3>From : \8 
Access=\1/'

might do the trick.  If it is parsing it correctly, but not 
putting the resulting \n in the output, something's kinda weird. 
  However, since it seems to be able to parse the \n, there's no 
reason you shouldn't be able to capture it and regurgitate it 
later (as \3) where you want the \n as long as you bump up the 
number of each of the following fields.

What version of sed are you running?
