How to make multiline response into single line

Hello,

I have a response pattern that spans into multiple lines, i need make it as single line to accommodate other response map.

I need to convert below multi line response pattern into single line, I have tried using Response Filters didn't worked for me.

 Detailed Oper Status            : Provisioning mismatch, the Payload Size is 
                                 : probably different from remote 
                                 : channel

I need to convert like this

 Detailed Oper Status            : Provisioning mismatch, the Payload Size is probably different from remote channel

Here is my response map looks like

interface xxx
 Description			 :
 Detailed Oper Status            : Provisioning mismatch, the Payload Size is 
                                 : probably different from remote 
                                 : channel

Thanks

Mali, you can have the response map team fix this by using custom queries or you can handle this in the test case with xpath assuming it's response mapped. I created a simple script and response map that shows the lines combined.

I used the xpath concat function to accomplish this task.

Example: concat(.//Detailed_Oper_Status1, .//Detailed_Oper_Status2, .//Detailed_Oper_Status3)

More about the concat function here:
