Merge two lines into one from a text file

_{Tuesday, March 18, 2014 4:25 AM}

I am getting the data in the below format in a text file

servername1 192.168.0.2:80
enabled
servername2 192.168.5.23:443
enabled
servername3 192.168.25.16:80
disabled
serveranme4 192.168.0.52:443
disabled

I want to merge the two lines and get the output like

servername1 192.168.0.2:80 enabled
servername2 192.168.5.23:443 enabled
servername3 192.168.25.16:80 disabled
serveranme4 192.168.0.52:443 disabled

Thanks

Not quite correct by my testing. Try:

$i=0
Get-Content .\test.txt | ForEach {
    If ($i%2){
        ("$Keep $($_)").Trim()
    }Else{
        $keep=$_
    }$i++
}

Assuming the file is named notmerged.txt

$l=''; gc notmerged.txt | % {if ($l -ne ''){$l+' '+$_;$l=''}else{$l=$_}}

Yet another way...

$i=0
Get-Content .\test.txt | ForEach {
    If ($i%2){
        $keep=$_
    }Else{
        ("$($_) $Keep").Trim()
    }$i++
}

    }$i++
}

Good catch!
