removing tabs

Hi Everyone,

Im trying to write a shell script that removes a "newline character followed by a tab" throughout a file. basically it should get rid of it. Here's an example

File Before

The cat sat on the
mat

File After
The cat sat on the mat

This message writing screen has problems showing tabs but basically there is a tab character before the word mat. THe shell script should loop through the entire file and find and replace all occurences of new line follwed by tab with nothing.
Does anyone know how to write a shell script to do this?

thanks
