Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

It's works only when you replace '\n' to ONE character.

This command turns a multi-line file into a single line joined with <SOMETEXT>. To skip blank lines, use:

perl -pe '(eof()||s/^\s*$//)||s/\n/<SOMETEXT>/g' file.txt

awk version of 7210. Slightly longer, but expanding it to catch blank lines is easier:

awk 'BEGIN{RS="\0"}{gsub(/\n+/,"<SOMETEXT>");print}' file.txt
