cancel the enter key in a text

Comment:

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 Edmondo

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... Edmondo

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
