Convert vertical colums of text to horizizontal line

[sc0rpi0]

I know this is a very strange question, but how would I go about converting a long line of vertical text to

a horizontal format using something like a batch file?

For example, I want to convert this:

a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h

...to this:

abcdefgh

Thanks very much.

printr(trim($input,"\n"));?

it's a bit of a broad question. you could do this in any language you want, but a batch file wouldnt be the output.
