Crimeney, but that is ugly.

I can't figure out what the $'s are for in there.  But anyway,
maybe something like this would work instead:

  | tr -ds '[\n\t\r]' ' '

I had tried this, but without success...

The  \n  do only work, if I put it into  $'\n'

(From "man tr":)

    -s      The -s option squeezes multiple occurrences of the characters
             listed in the last operand (either string1 or string2) in the
             input into a single instance of the character.  This occurs after
             all deletion and translation is completed.

OK, I have no experience with 'tr' because I alway use 'sed' :-)
