Reading and appending to text file

[papaboy2]

hi how can i concatenate and removove blank space between two lines of data in a text file and also how can i append at the bottom, not overwrite the existing data?
i have a [mes] part where the data is continued with a blank space, how can i display it in ony 1 straight line, using the System.out.println?

[mes]Sample message broken

Message to concat on first message

[end]

here is my code:
input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
String line = null; //not declared within while loop
while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
System.out.println(line);

yep i can append but the problem is that the NEW data is appended right next to the last data appended, and not in the next line of the file, and also i want to retrieve multiple lines of data into single straight message, removing also with blank space between lines. thanks you sedj for your time! just a novice in java hayyyyy .
