Removing newlines (n) with sed

June 24, 2008June 24, 2008 Christian 2 Comments

Today I had to search again on how to remove newline special characters with sed. Thanks to Kamil over at linux.dsplabs.com.au, I found it again rather quickly.

Now, this is just for my own safekeeping, so I don’t end up googling for it again … *shrug*

echo -e "Line containing nnewlines!" | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/n//g'

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.
