After cat'ing I generally look inside the file to delete all the headers
and then use the right curly brace ( } ) to search for next blank lines.
If it gets to the end then there will be a colon ( : ) at the end.  Else
if there are blanks inbetween, they need to be stripped.  This works for
me and I am not in search for a more efficient way to do it either.

Haseen.
