[Larshg]

Hi

How do I remove all new lines i a text file and replace them with a space

/Larshg

 

[guggach]

in vi

:1,$j
or
:%j


in other tools, you need arrays,
see (and try) man pages 'tr'

'c' still remains your best friend.

compile it, call: fname < inputname

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
register int aa;
while((aa = getchar()) != EOF)
putchar((aa == '\n') ? ' ' : aa);
putchar('\n'); /* append a newline at end */
exit(0);
}

naaah, I'd say buy a couple of Cray's and ask NASA for their Mission Critical software.
