Some bits more compact:

tr </home/bobg/usg.txt "\n" " "

      35 % 6.0 17.0 8 % 0.4 5.0

That's the best solution yet. Not sure what it's doing but will look at
the man page again when I am fully awake.

Thanks.

The tr command reads from stdin (that's the output of cat) and
transforms all new line chars to blanks (see "man tr"), so all lines
will be concatenated (by a blank char) to *one* line.

Yes, I kept wondering, if there was a way to change the "new line" to a
space, tab, comma, whatever but I couldn't see how. Obviously I lack the
skill to do the things I want ...

Thanks to all.

Bob
