If I have:
foo
bar
..and I'd like to awk/sed this to:
foo-bar
..what's the syntax?
I'm trying to use:
system_profiler SPMemoryDataType | awk '/Type/ {print $2} /Speed/ {print $2}'|sed 's/\r$/a\"-"/'
to output type-speed (ie DDR-1067).

1If you don't get any sed/awk help here, there are plenty of other sites that address those unix tools explicitly, rather than by extension that a mac program is generating xml output. Just hop in the chat room if you need help selecting a destination or flag it for moderator help if you prefer.– bmike ♦Commented Sep 15, 2011 at 20:25

Use this sed instead:
|sed '$!N;s/\n/ /'
system_profiler SPMemoryDataType | awk '/Type/ {print $2} /Speed/ {print $2}'|sed '$!N;s/\n/ /'
output:
DDR3 1066
DDR3 1066
DDR3 1066
Empty Empty

How do you make it stop after the first line though? When I awk using the above command I get: DDR2-667 [carriage return] DDR2-667 I just want the first line.– user11315Commented Sep 23, 2011 at 21:29

Insert an ;exit after /Speed/ {print $2 ,so it would look like: .... /Speed/ {print $2;exit} .....– l'L'lCommented Sep 24, 2011 at 4:04
Awk can easily do this on it's own, like so:
system_profiler SPMemoryDataType | awk '/Type:/ {type=$2} /Speed:/ {speed=$2; printf "%s-%s\n", type, speed}'
