Or what about this?

use warnings;
use strict;

my $file_line;

while (<DATA>) {
    if ( /^FILE/ and !/\s+[0-9]+ \\$/ ) {
        ( $file_line = $_ ) =~ s/[\s\\]+$/ /;
    }
    elsif (/^([0-9]+)\s+?(.*)$/) {
        $file_line .= $1 . " \\\n" . $2;
        print $file_line, $/;
    }
    else {
        print;
    }
}

__DATA__

Output:

Note, it not checking to know the number of fields in the FILE line, but assumed that the line that follows the FILE line should not start with all number and the FILE line should end with all numbers.
Working just on assumptions and "funny" idea, using if/elsif/else. The OP can take it from here.

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
