Is this a homework assignment?

What have you tried?

What tool(s) do you want to use?

What OS (including version) and shell are you using?

Hi ,

i tried with sed for removing the space and remove the "\n" special character to make it single line
but its makes all the lines as single line instead of make one by one

 
 Linux is my OS with bash shell

I repeat: Is this a homework assignment?

Until you answer this (and explain why you need to do this if it isn't a homework assignment), we can't help you with this simple task.

I'm glad to hear you solved your problem. So other people reading this thread can learn from your question, will you show us how you fixed it?

I was going to suggest trying:

sed 'N;s/[[:space:]]//g' file
