Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting how to remove all tabs and newline (\n) Post 302225674 by era on Saturday 16th of August 2008 10:48:25 AM

Code:
tr -d '\011\012' <existing >new

Not all variants of tr understand the \000 octal notation; if so, read your local tr man page to find out what to use instead. Popular alternatives are C-like annotations, where \t is tab and \n is newline.
