[Nottingham] SED and removing newlines

[Ron Wilton]

Hello

Can anyone tell me how I remove newlines from a text file. I'm trying to use SED but an finding it difficult to find what I'm looking for (not being helped by not being too familiar with it).

I'm want to use it with to take away newlines for when I'm converting text to speech using text2wave. An example of what I've tried to do follows, but this just an error message.

 cat -A /home/ron/test | sed -e  -n | text2wave -o test.wav

Thanks for any help

Ron
