Thanks
to BILL

here is solution
If you want all spaces to be turned into a single space, use this:

     cat myfile |while read
     do
        echo $REPLY
     done

  To remove all white space (tabs, spaces in any combination):

     cat myfile |while read
     do
        echo $REPLY | tr -d " "
     done

Bill was quick in response

Thanks again

Subject: [HPADM] remove the sace charcter in the file

Hi Admins

I have a samll script question and I know it can be done thru sed but I am
not able to get the syntax right .
I have a file which looks like this

 00501078202102 2002 00000102686102
00000094243000000102686
 00501078214102 2002 00000102686102
00000094243000000102686
 00501100003102 2002 00000004293102
00000000000000000004293

I want to remove the tab char or you can say sapce from the file
