I have a file name foo. That file contains some text (shown below). Can you please tell me how can I get the string “I have not created a home page.” into a variable. I was using the command variable='cat foo | cut -d ">" -f 3'. It output “I have not created a home page.” with lots of new lines in it. Please let me know if you can tell me a way to obtain the string without any newlines. Thanks a lot.
