How to delete the '\n' of every line in a file

 

So I have a huge file that I would like to format using vim.

So I want to delete the 'n' of every line, here is a file example: 

I 
Want 
to 
be 
just one 
line

I was trying to do it using this: 

:%g/^/norm!(a keyword that deletes the /n)

I just don't know which keyword might work for that, so in other words, I would like to know a way to automate the manual commands 'I(press delete button)' on every line.

Thanks in advance!

The most idiomatic way of joining all lines in a buffer is to use the :join command: 

:%j!

(Remove the ! sign if you want Vim to insert space between joined lines. From the wording of the question I assume that you do not want to add spaces.)

The same could be done interactively, if you prefer: 

ggVGgJ

(Again, use J instead of gJ if you want to separate joined lines with spaces.)

Another option is the :substitute command: 

:%s/n//

ggVGJ

Broken down:

  • gg : move to line 1
  • V : enter visual mode
  • G : move to last line
  • J : join selection to single line

    • why use vim? You could easily 

    tr -d 'n' < file
