Remove Empty Lines: what to know
Remove Empty Lines deletes every blank line from your text and tells you how many it removed. Lines that only contain spaces or tabs look empty too, so they're removed by default.
Everything else stays exactly as it was: the order of the remaining lines, the spacing inside them and your line endings. That makes it safe for code, CSV data and lists where only the gaps need to go, such as a column copied from a spreadsheet with empty cells in between.
If you want to keep paragraphs apart but get rid of large gaps, Remove Extra Spaces reduces several blank lines in a row to a single one instead.
Popular uses
- Cleaning lists before importing them into a spreadsheet or app
- Removing gaps from code, logs and CSV data
- Tidying text copied from web pages
- Preparing one-item-per-line lists for sorting
Tips for the best result
- Turn off 'Also remove lines with only spaces' if whitespace-only lines matter in your data.
- Combine with Remove Duplicate Lines and Sort Lines to clean a list fully.
- The removed count helps confirm you got all the gaps.
