Thumbs up converting all records of a file in to one record

I have a file temp.dat. The contents of this file is as follows

abcdefgh
abcdefgh
abcdefgh
abcdefgh
abcdefgh
abcdefgh


The multiple records in this file needs to be converted in to a single record.

abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
