I am looking for the sed command to cancel all the enter keys in a corpus. I have eliminated the tab key with sed -e 's/\t//g' but I don't know how to do it with the enter key.
Thank you

Do you really want to remove all line endings which will put everything on 1 line?

s/\n//g

Thank you Fishmonger.
Yes I need to lemmatize a corpus and I need to remove all line endings. The enter key seems to disturb the lemmatizing process. I've tried the sed -e 's/\n//g' but I still see the file unchanged. The command does not work...

This solution doesn't use sed, but seems to work. echo'ing a variable to xargs emulates what you want:

#!/bin/ksh

myvar=$(cat <<MSG
line 1
line 2
line 3
MSG)

# myvar with LFs
echo "$myvar"
echo
echo

# myvar without LFs
echo "$myvar"|xargs

sed -e 's/\r//g'
