function compactifyMultilineString( $input_string ){    return str_replace( array( "\r", "\n", "\t" ), " ", $input_string );}

Use postman's own pre-request scripts
Or, probably the most reasonable option, set up Kibana right next to your ElasticSearch server. Kibana is great for testing out queries and it also supports a postman-ready copy feature:
