Join Multiple Lines

Hi,

How can I join multiple lines into one line using Emacs.

I know the command "join-line" to join the current line with previous; how
to do it for multiple lines?

Can I execute it multiple times for a set of lines. If yes, please let me
know how to do that?

Regards
Ankur Jain

You can do a search a replace on ^J.

M-x replace-string RET C-q C-j RET SPC RET

will put all the lines after the point on one big line.

Replace the line endings with a space: M-x replace-string RET C-q C-j  
RET SPC RET

Another option is to set your fill column to a large value, for
example

        M-1-0-0-0-0-0 C-x f

Then mark the lines and do M-x fill-region

Hi weber,

I pasted this code in my .emacs and restarted Emacs. I got the following
error :

Symbol's value as variable is void: On

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause of the error in
your initialization file and remove it.  Start Emacs with the `--debug-init'
option to view a complete error backtrace


Thanks
Ankur

I don't know, but I feel it's too simple to be added by default... People
usually have tons of those little functions loaded when they start emacs, I
just keep collecting them!
Cheers,
weber
