Add this to your .lyx/preferences file. (If the file doesn't exist, 
create a new one.)

\ascii_linelen your_length

Alternatively, use the Preferences dialog (Edit->Preferences) and the 
Outputs->ASCII pane (Qt) or Outputs->Misc tab (xforms)

That will put set the linelength for each paragraph.

If you really want a file with no line breaks, use sed. Eg

sed ':loop
$!{
N
s/\n/ /
tloop
}' your_file.txt > a_file_with_a_single_really_long_line.txt

Of course, this assumes that you are using an OS that has sed (-;

  This is the trick, choose some huge value, say 10000 (if you have paragraphs 
with more than 10000 characters then you should reconsider your writing style 
;-)).

  Using this absurd value will ensure that in pratice no paragraph will wrap. 
I tried and it works, I have been able to reproduce your second case.

  This will not work, at least in the qt case as the maximum value allowed is 
120.
  So I advise you to change this value by hand.

This restriction should be removed.

I've found the file
        designer2 ui/QPrefAsciiModule.ui
I've found the maxValue thingy, set to 120. How do I remove the 
restriction? Set it to -1?

I looked at the Qt source: can't be done. Choose a different widget.

Bonsoir, Antony. Ton anglais est meuiller que mon français ;-)

Est-ce que tu voudrais tous les mots de chaque paragraphe sur une 
ligne single? Alors je pense que ce sera suffisant d'avoir une entrée
        \ascii_linelen 10000
dans le fichier ~/.lyx/preferences. 

Peut-être ce script t'aideras

sed ':loop
/^ *$/!{
$!{
N
/\n *$/!{
s/\n/ /
tloop
}
}
}' ton_fichier > le_fichier_parfait
