Removing all whitespace lines from a multi-line string efficiently

Question

In C# what\'s the best way to remove blank lines i.e., lines that contain only whitespace from a string? I\'m happy to use a Regex if that\'s the best solution.

EDIT

Answer 1

Using LINQ:

var result = string.Join("\r\n",
                 multilineString.Split(new string[] { "\r\n" }, ...None)
                                .Where(s => !string.IsNullOrWhitespace(s)));

If you're dealing with large inputs and/or inconsistent line endings you should use a StringReader and do the above old-school with a foreach loop instead.
