Try following shell script

Code:

#!/bin/bash
INPUT="/path/to/file"
while read line
 do
 echo -n $line
done < $INPUT

You can also try tr

Code:

tr -d '\n\' < /path/to/file

Perl version

Code:

perl -e 'while (<>) { if (! /\|$/ ) { chomp; } print ;}' </path/to/input/file

GNU sed version (may not work with UNIX / BSD sed):

Code:

sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n//g' < /path/to/file

Use any one of the above method
