Very Computer

In other words, I would like:

itema
itemb
itemc

to look like:

itema itemb itemc

Is there some syntax in sed to do this?

Thanks for any ideas.

You could do it many ways, heres a couple simple ways :

1.Use good 'ol awk :
    awk '{printf "%s ",$0}'  filename   (there is a space after %s)

2. Use tr to delete the newline :
    tr -d '\012' < filename

Hope this helps,
