remove spaces between tags
I am having the data.txt file as follows.

-------
Code:
<RMService>
	<ResControl>
		<ResultCode>FATAL</ResultCode>
		<ServiceTime>38</ServiceTime>
		<DWLControl>
			<requesterLanguage>100</requesterLanguage>
			<requesterLocale>en</requesterLocale>
			<requesterName>NCO A Batch Load</requesterName>
			<requestID>4</requestID>
		</DWLControl>
	</ResControl>
<RMService>

-------

All the spaces, tabs, new lines has to be removed and all the tags has to be in a single line as follows.

-------
Code:
<RMService><ResControl><ResultCode>FATAL</ResultCode><ServiceTime>38</ServiceTime><DWLControl><requesterLanguage>100</requesterLanguge><requesterLocale>en</requesterLocale><requesterName>NCO A Batch Load</requesterName><requestID>4</requestID></DWLControl></ResControl><RMService>

-------

Please not that the space between "NCO A Batch Load" should not be removed. because it is inside the tag.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Code:
awk '{$1=$1;printf $0}' file > new.file
