Thanks all for your help, used

xargs < testfile | sed 's/ //g'

and it works 100%.

xargs < testfile | sed -e "s/,$//g" gives correct result but have unwanted spaces in the output:

root@sun6 # xargs < testfile | sed -e "s/,$//g"
string1,string2 ,string3 ,string4

Seems to be doing what I want, but it also appends root prompt ?

root@sun6 # tr -s '\n' ',' < testfile
string1,string2,string3,string4,root@sun6 #

Yes I did, but there's no output:

root@sun6 # cat testfile
string1,string2
,string3
,string4

root@sun6 #tr -s '\n' ',' < testfile | sed -e "s/,$//g"
root@sun6 #


Thanks
