Replace newline characters with space, joining all lines 1

[hallux]

Hi,
I would like to use sed to replace all newline characters with spaces, thereby joining all lines into one.

Example:
Car
Bike
Scooter

Would become "Car Bike Scooter"

I tried using "\n", but it didn't work.

Thanks vgersh99, that's exactly what I needed.
I also found a 'tr' command to get rid of more unprintable characters:

tr -d '\001'-'\011''\013''\014''\016'-'\037''\200'-'\377' < filein > fileout

To see all characters in a file or output, use 'od'.

$ echo &quot;hello world&quot; | od -x
0000000 6865 6c6c 6f20 776f 726c 640a
0000014

Notice that h is 68, e is 65 , l is 6c, o is 6f, etc

$ echo &quot;hello world&quot; | od -c
0000000 h e l l o w o r l d \n
0000014

$ echo &quot;hello\t world&quot; | od -c
0000000 h e l l o \t w o r l d \n
0000015
