display output on one line. this is a exerpt from my kshell script
cat <filename> |egrep -v Pattern1|egrep -v Pattern2|egrep -v Pattern3 |egrep -v Pattern3
which displays
Name=john, Age=24, Occupation=Sales
Name=mike, Age=34, Occupation=Unemployed
Name=mike, Age=34, Occupation=Unemployed
Name=mike, Age=34, Occupation=Unemployed
would like to get em all on one line with or without spaces

Use tr to strip the newlines perhaps
Or even replace them with spaces.
Hey There,
Just as an aside, and not to do with the overall solution: If you use egrep, you can make use of it's extended pattern matching functionality to reduce your command line.
For instance:
egrep -v Pattern1|egrep -v Pattern2|egrep -v Pattern3 |egrep -v Pattern4
could be written as
egrep -v 'Pattern1|Pattern2|Pattern3|Pattern4'
which would match any of the for patterns, with the pipe character representing OR within the quotes.
Best wishes,
Mike
