I'm not sure about vi, but in vim this works:
:%s/\n//
to remove all newlines throughout a document.
To substitute all tabs in this text:
one two three
with newlines, one would do:
:s/\t/\r/
on that line - using '\r' instead of '\n'. Not entirely sure why '\r'
is used in this context instead of '\n'.
