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

:a create a label 'a'
N append the next line to the pattern space
$! if not the last line, ba branch (go to) label 'a'
s substitute, /n/ regex for new line, / / by a space, /g global match (as many times as it can)

replace a newline using sed linux bash

#All alternatives, unlike sed will not need to reach the last line to begin the process

#with bash, slow
while read line; do printf "%s" "$line "; done < file

#with perl, sed-like speed
perl -p -e 's/n/ /' file

#with tr, faster than sed, can replace by one character only
tr 'n' ' ' < file

#with paste, tr-like speed, can replace by one character only
paste -s -d ' ' file

#with awk, tr-like speed
awk 1 ORS=' ' file

#Other alternative like "echo $(< file)" is slow, works only on small files and needs to process the whole file to begin the process.
