I need help in how to connect multiple lines from a txt file into one single line without white spaces

The text file is consisting of 8 lines and each single line has 80 characters, as showing:

Here is the code that I used, but my problem is that I am not able have all the lines connected with NO white spaces between them:

inFile = open ("text.txt","r") # open the text file
line1 = inFile.readline() # read the first line from the text.txt file
line2 = inFile.readline() # read the second line from the text.txt file
line3 = inFile.readline()
line4 = inFile.readline()
line5 = inFile.readline()
line6 = inFile.readline()
line7 = inFile.readline()
line8 = inFile.readline()

print (line1.split("\n")[0], # split each line and print it --- My proplem in this code!
       line2.split("\n")[0],
       line3.split("\n")[0],
       line4.split("\n")[0],
       line5.split("\n")[0],
       line6.split("\n")[0],
       line7.split("\n")[0],
       line8.split("\n")[0])

If your file isn’t extraordinarily large, you can open the entire contents as one string.

content = inFile.read()

Lines of text are split by a special character, \n.
If you want everything on one line, remove that character.

oneLine = content.replace('\n', '')

Here, I’m replacing every \n character with an empty string.
