Solution

  • Since you know that every character in your input is separated by a \n (Line break) char, all you need to do is replace them with nothing.

    If you are reading from a file you will need this code:

    with open("PATH TO FILE.txt", r) as file:
    input = file.read()

    To Replace \n characters with spaces you will need:

    input.replace("\n", "")

    Now just combine the two code snippets
