Use this solution with gnu sed Sed ':a;n;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' file this will read the whole file in a loop (':a;n;$!ba), then replaces the newline (s) with a space (s/\n/ /g) Additional substitutions can be simply appended if needed Sed starts by reading the first line excluding the newline into the pattern space

And flags describe details about how that replacement should be done. 51 sed is the stream editor It can do a whole pile of really cool things, but the most common is text replacement The s,%,$,g part of the command line is the sed command to execute
