SQL server 2012 SP_HELPTEXT extra lines issue

Question

I am using SQL server 2012, & always use SP_HELPTEXT to get my previously created Stored Procedures, In previous versions of SQL server there were no issues

Answer 1

I too faced this issue for a view.

Below are steps i used to resolve the issue (note only a temporary fix)

1)select the query

2)then right click and open in query designer

3)click ok

you would notice all the extra spaces are removed.

Note: this works only for simple queries not for procedures,etc
