How to make a variable in a single line

auhakim has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks, I have a data that stored in the database, and it stored in different line

it stored like this

<p>sdfh htr5htrh&nbsp; ken#h</p>
<p>Zeile1<br />Zeile2Zeile3<br /></p>
[download]

It stored with the line breaks that similar with the line breaks that caused by enter button, not the br tag. Is there any way to delete the line breaks that caused by enter button?

any help will be appreciated

line breaks that caused by enter button? You mean remove newlines? `s{[\r\n]+}{}g`	[reply] [d/l]
