Remove empty lines in eclipse code editor by find/replace (Ctrl+F)

Question

I want to remove all blank lines from my code by find/replace method in eclipse code editor.

I used regular expression \\n\\s*\\n to find all blank lin

Answer 1

I tried your expression, and it combined some lines. I found this one to work:

\n\s*$

with a replacement of [nothing].

Can't help with the mysterious error, though. I wonder if you have a corrupt file, maybe a stray CR/LF confusion.

(As for a plugin... don't know of any, but, well, learn awk, sed, perl... they'll always serve you well for your miscellaneous text-mangling jobs.)
