I have the following data, and I need to put it all into one line.

I have this:

22791

;

14336

;

22821

;

34653

;

21491

;

25522

;

33238

;

I need this:

22791;14336;22821;34653;21491;25522;33238;

EDIT

None of these commands is working perfectly.

Most of them let the data look like this:

22791

;14336

;22821

;34653

;21491

;25522

tr --delete '\n' < yourfile.txt
tr -d '\n' < yourfile.txt

Edit:

If none of the commands posted here are working, then you have something other than a newline separating your fields. Possibly you have DOS/Windows line endings in the file (although I would expect the Perl solutions to work even in that case)?

Try:

tr -d "\n\r" < yourfile.txt

If that doesn't work then you're going to have to inspect your file more closely (e.g. in a hex editor) to find out what characters are actually in there that you want to remove.

perl -p -i -e 's/\R//g;' filename

Must do the job.

tr -d '\n' < file.txt

Or

awk '{ printf "%s", $0 }' file.txt

Or

sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n//g' file.txt

This page here has a bunch of other methods to remove newlines.
