UNIX file with Newlines

Hi Friends,

I have a data file with new lines.

How to remove the newlines and should be showed in one line.

I tried using the command

Code:
tr -d '\n' filename

sed 's/\n//g' file name

Ex: 1 abc hyd is actual record
but in our scenario showing it as
Code:
1 abc
hyd

this record should be like as follows.

Code:
1 abc hyd

it's not working.

Could you please help me out to overcome the issue.

Thanks in Advance!
