Question

Let\'s say I had a text file with the following nine lines:

foo

bar

baz

qux

quux

How can I use Sublime Text 2 to remove all four of the

Answer 1

There are also some ST2/ST3 Plugins for such tasks. I do like these two:

• Delete Blank Lines (also available via Package Control)
• Trailing Spaces (also available via Package Control)

The first one has two methods for removing empty/unnecessary lines. One of them called Delete Surplus Blank Lines which is cool. It removes only those lines that are followed by another empty line

Answer 2

Simpler than I thought. Ctrl + A Followed by Ctrl + H Then Select Regular Expression .* . Replace \n\n with \n. Voila!

Answer 3

A Find/Replace solution:

Regex Find:\s+

Replace with: //single space

Answer 4

Select the text

Press:

• Ctrl + H on PC, or
• Command + Alt + F on Mac or
• Click Find->Replace.

Make sure you have selected 'regular expression' by pressing:

• Alt + R on PC or
• Command + Alt + R on Mac or
• Click .* in the Find box.

Find what: ^\n or ^(\r|\n\r?)

Replace With: (nothing, leave in blank).

Answer 5

If ^\n does not work properly ===> try .*[^\w]\n

Answer 6

Their is a more easily way to do that without regex. you have just to select the whole text. then go to: Edit--> Permute Lines --> Unique.

That's all. and all blank lines will be deleted.
