Answer 1

You can use tr to translate <newline> to <space>:

tr '\n' ' ' < file

Also in sed:

sed -n '1h;1!H;${g;s/\n/ /g;p}' file

---

In awk:

awk -vORS=' ' 1 file

---

If file is small, you can use cat:

echo `cat file`

---

If you know vim:

:%s/\n/ /

---

maybe more ...

Answer 2

Using paste command:

paste -sd" " file

d option to set delimiter.
