I need to remove new line character only in some lines of code.

Example xml file:

XML

<document>
<chapter>
<test aid:pstyle="1">
<title>
</title>
</test>
</chapter>
<test2 aid:pstyle="2">
<title2>
</title2>
</test2>
</document>

Expected output:

XML

<document>
<chapter>
<test aid:pstyle="1"><title></title></test>
</chapter>
<test2 aid:pstyle="2"><title2></title2></test2>
</document>

Wherever the attribute "aid:pstyle" is there, I need to remove new line character till the line where that attribute tag ends. How to do it??

Just search for "\r\n<test">" and remove the "\r\n".

Rather simple..
