Spooling via DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE without new lines

Question

Is there a way to spool output to a file using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE so that each line is placed on a same line? ie spool all output to one line?
I guess this probably goes against design of PUT_LINE as it is mean to put a line.
What I am trying to do is build a DOS command via a SQL script that spools to a file all on one line. this is so that when the spool file is run (either as a .bat or .sh file) the command can execute correctly since it is all on one line.
Any ideas?

You can try below code.
create or replace procedure p1(P_AMU varchar2) as
cursor cu_get_workbooks is
select '/workbook "'||doc_created_by||'.'||doc_name||'"' workbook
from (
SELECT EUL4_DOCUMENTS.DOC_NAME,
DOC_CREATED_BY
FROM EUL4_DOCUMENTS EUL4_DOCUMENTS
WHERE DOC_CREATED_BY=P_AMU;
str varchar2(4000);
begin
for cu_rec in cu_get_workbooks loop
str := cu_rec.workbook;
end loop;
insert into temp values (str);
end;
And then you can write a sql script:
exec p1(&&AMU);
select * from temp;
