i got some files with name start as eg_. and only each contains one single line
eg_01.txt: @china:129.00
eg_02.txt @uk:219.98
eg_03.txt @USA:341.90
You could always pipe it to tr
tr "\n" " "
That removes all newlines on stdin
and replaces them with spaces
EDIT: as suggested by Bart Sas, you could also remove newlines with tr -d
tr -d "\n"
(note: just specifying an empty string to tr
for the second argument won't do)
In Perl, you'd do it like this:
perl -pe'chomp' eg*.txt
The -p
says "loop through the input file and do whatever code is specified by the -e
switch. The chomp
in Perl says "Remove any trailing newlines."
Using only one command
url=$(awk '{printf "%s",$0}' eg*)
