sed question (bibtex problem)



If I have a file with the following format:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa%
ssssssssss
hhhhhhhh
jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj%
ddddddd

how do I tell sed (or another program) to remove the % and \n
character at the end of each line.

ie. something like

sed 's/%\n//'

but that doesn't work :-(


The reason:

bibtex likes to word-wrap/mangle/destroy my long lines (eg. URLs) into
this form:

\bibitem[Mic00]{Microsoft2000}
Microsoft.
\newblock Windows 2000 kerberos authentication.
\newblock White paper, Microsoft, January 2000.
\newblock
  \url=http://www.microsoft.com/technet/win2000/win2ksrv/technote/kerberos.asp%
=.

which is interpreted by LaTeX to display a percent sign at the end of
the URL :-(
