You can use regexp_replace.  For example:

regexp_replace(column, '\r|\n', '', 'g')

Bear in mind, the above example would mean that if there was no
whitespace between the newline and the words either side of it, they
would effectively be concatenated, so you may wish to replace with a
space, or use a better regular expression.
