  • That would set OFS to RS every time a line is read, you don't need to do that as it's inefficient, doing it once is enough - awk 'BEGIN{OFS=ORS} {$1=$1}1'. I also changed RS to ORS as it is technically the output record separator you want to use, only really matters if they're different. Commented May 1, 2022 at 13:02
