WHAT!!!

Untested, unproven in _all_ situations and primitive?

Again I state with a loud voice this time:-
THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH YOUR LINE NUMBERS 10 TO 19 WITH THE TEST DATA GIVEN!

Take heed!

Your code with minor corrections...
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# rm_newline.sh
# Use the data already given in my previous postings...
cat < /tmp/bunny
tr -d '\n' < /tmp/bunny > /tmp/NewFileName
echo ""
echo ""
cat < /tmp/NewFileName
echo ""
echo ""
mynewfile=""
newline=0
n="1"
# FIle bunny and variable bunny - fun eh!
read -d '' -r bunny < /tmp/NewFileName
while true
do
	if [ $newline -ge ${#bunny} ]
	then
		break
	fi
	if [ "${bunny:$newline:2}" = "0$n" ]
	then
		mynewfile=$mynewfile${bunny:$newline:1}$'\n'
	else
		mynewfile=$mynewfile${bunny:$newline:1}
	fi
	newline=$[ ( $newline + 1 ) ]
done
echo "$mynewfile" > /tmp/File
cat < /tmp/File

Results:-
