Removing CR/LF's in bash

Is there a nice and easy way of removing (what I assume are) CR/LF's from a `cat` command I redirected to a buffer so I have a list I can parse at my lesuire?

i.e MyList=`cat somefile.txt`

Try awk instead of cat.

mylist=awk '{printf("%s ",$0);}' somefile.txt

This will output each line followed by a space.
