How to add Tab Space in between awk / sed command in bash
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I have two separate lines being consolidated onto one line. The issue is that at the current moment, it is being separated by a space. I would like to know how I can separate the two lines into one line with a Tab spacing instead.
Here is the code I currently have:
awk '/^loginName:/x=NR+1(NR<=x)print't FinalResults.txt| sed "N;s/n/ /g"
I see the tab command is %t, but where exactly would this go? Also, can you break down the current coding and explain in detail what everything does and what is the purpose as I am trying to learn how bash works.
Additional information:
The question is related to this answer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/502156/330217.
The input file FinalResults.txt is the same as shown inthe other question.

It is, I gave you the best answer to that one. But this one was a shorter script so I was wondering how it worked and just focusing on the Tab command for this. I tried adding the %t everywhere and no luck. I want it to showNameTabMemorythen next line.

The awk script prints all lines starting with loginName: and the next line immediately following it regardless of its contents.
/^loginName:/x=NR+1 # for matching lines store the record (line) number +1 into x
(NR<=x)print # The condition will be true for the line matching the pattern above and the following line.
Read the documentation of sed and awk. See https://stackoverflow.com/q/6255796/10622916 for sed's N command.
Replace the sed command with
sed "N;s/n/t/g"
to separate the lines with Tab instead of space.
Or change the awk script
awk '/^loginName:/x=NR+1;l=$0NR==xprint l "t" $0' FinalResults.txt
and omit the sed command.
If you want it even shorter
awk 'lprint l"t"$0;l=0/^loginName:/l=$0' FinalResults.txt
but a shorter script may be more difficult to understand.
(Here the condition for printing is the value of l being non-empty and not 0, and l stores the loginName: line.)
