Replace newline with a space in a file
$ tr '\n' ' ' < ${file_name}
try on your machine
The command "tr" is used in Unix-like operating systems to translate or delete characters. In this case, the command is used to translate newline characters ('\n') into space characters (' ') within the given file.
The "<" symbol is used for input redirection, specifying that the input should come from the file specified by the variable "file_name".
So, the command takes the contents of the file, replaces newline characters with spaces, and outputs the modified content to the console.
