Delete empty and whitespace-only lines
Submitted by cosmicstars on Saturday, 30 July, 2005 - 13:24
Moin,

I want to clear my edited text for all lines which have
empty content e.g. white spaces or nothing and so on.

I can use find and replace to find an string and replace it,
but I havenot an idea to use an macro which will delete
these line if found the given string.

What is my fault?

e.g. in sed '/^\ .*$/d' will find all empty lines and
lines with spaces only and delete them.

MfG...

Perhaps I don't understand why you want a macro, but why not do this:

Do a Regular Expression HyperSearch for

^\s+?\n

and click Replace All without entering anything in the "Replace with" textbox.
