using tr to put multiple lines of output into one line
Hi all,

For a intro UNIX course I'm taking, I need to use the command "tr" to display a file on standard output without any newlines (all on one line).

I assume I would start with "cat filename | tr" but don't know what to put after tr.

Any ideas would be lovely!
Thanks.
