sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g'

This will read the whole file in a loop, then replaces the newline(s) with a space.<br />
 +
Explanation:<br />
 +
Create a label via :a.<br />
 +
Append the current and next line to the pattern space via N.<br />
 +
If we are before the last line, branch to the created label $!ba ($! means not to do it on the last line as there should be one final newline).<br />
 +
Finally the substitution replaces every newline with a space on the pattern space (which is the whole file).<br />
 +
 +
Here is cross-platform compatible syntax which works with BSD sed (as per @Benjie comment):<br />
 +
sed -e ':a' -e 'N' -e '$!ba' -e 's/\n/ /g'
