Thanks for the previous tips and suggestions. Here's a more concise example:
Input file:
<aaaa> <bbbb> <cccc> <dddd>
I want everything on one line, i.e., remove all newlines. Like so:
<aaaa><bbbb><cccc><dddd>
Simple perl code:
Code like this is often simpler if you use the Unix filter model and let the operating system take care of opening all the files.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict; use warnings;
chomp(my @lines = <>);
print @lines;
If this is in a file called 'join', you can run it like this:
$ ./join < input.txt > output.txt
