How does it work?

This tool removes all empty lines from your text. An empty line is defined as:

A line with no characters
A line containing only whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, etc.)

The tool preserves all non-empty lines in their original order, removing only the empty ones.

Example

Original text

First line
Second line

Third line

Fourth line


Fifth line

Last line

After removing empty lines

First line
Second line
Third line
Fourth line
Fifth line
Last line

This tool is useful for cleaning up text files, removing unnecessary blank lines from code, or preparing text for further processing where empty lines might cause issues.
