In desperate need of help,
Anyone know a program or a process within an already exsiting program that automatically places all your code on a single line.

Example:
fsdfsdfsdf
sdfsdfdsfsdfsdfsdfsdf
sfsdfsdfsdf
sfsdfsdfdsf

Want it to automatically format it to one single line:

Example:
ssdfsdfsdfafsdfsdfsdfsfsfsfsdfsdf

I am needing to do this as we are programming html, but need to be in single line to make it function properly, and it is quite time consuming to have do it by hand.

Thank you!

For HTML you can do it two ways that I know work.

Firstly you could use HTMLCompact, which will remove all the excess content, including line feeds so everything is compacted into a long string of code as you want.

Alternatively, you can use TextEd, an advanced notepad replacement, and use Find....ReplaceAll to remove the line feeds (they are special characters defined as "CRLF" = Carriage Return Line Feed).

This second method would probably work equally well in Word, if you already have that. Just take care when you resave the document that it remains an HTML file.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have downloaded the HTMLCompact, but it appears to only compress the entire page into a java enabled code, not place all the code on a single line. I have not been able to find the second program either online.

Please if anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Apparently this is the latest version by the new company, 3.3 Gold. I haven't tried this version, but do use the one at the first link and know that version works well, right back to Windows 98SE.

I have sent you an email with a program I have quickly written to remove line feed from a clipboard source.

Thank you Kahlid for your program, I sent you an email regarding it. Unfortunately I can not get it to execute on my system. I go into more detail about the error in the email I sent to you.

I am still looking for someone to help me with this issue of tryinng to have my HTML code automatically format to one single line from a normal html page of code.

Thank you!

Here's a Perl command that will remove all of the "CRLF" in the file, and also create a backup copy of the original file. If you need to do this with a large number of files, we can write a short Perl script instead.

perl -pi.bak -e "s/[\n\r]+//" myfile.html
