How to delete Linefeed using batch file

Question

I want to delete Linefeed in text file using batch file. Is it possible to do. Please provide some help

Do yourself a favor, don't try to do useful work in dos-batch, it will make you cry. Instead try `flip`: it's old, it works, no crying needed. https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~craig/utility/flip/ — msw, Jun 25 '10 at 06:40
@msw: That pretty much only depends on the expertise of the person doing it and how widely the solution needs to be deployed. I frequently avoid non-standard dependencies if I can help it. sureshdharmadurai: You may want to elaborate a little because right now I don't see much use in your question. As I understand it you want to delete line breaks from the file, converting it into a single line. However, I suspect that's not what you'd want. — Joey, Jun 25 '10 at 11:27

If you mean removing empty lines from text files try this in a batch file:

for /f "delims= tokens=*" %%x in (inputfile.txt) do echo %%x >> outputfile.txt

you may also want to replace inputfile.txt and outputfile.txt by %1 and %2 to be used for any file given its name to the batch file
