Hmm, maybe: |

|
| 9 |
$ awk '/^comment "[^"]*$/ { ORS=" " } /"$/ { ORS="\n" } { print }' yourfile.txt |
| 10 |

That means if a line starts with 'comment "' but doesn't end with ", |
| 12 |
change the ORS (output record seperator) to a space. If it does end with |
| 13 |
a ", change it to a newline. |
