Deleting Whitespace - Blank Lines

One of the FTP programs I used to use had the strange habit of manipulating my web files. It double spaced all the text in the files somehow...for example

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

instead of

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

What I want is all my files to be single spaced but it would take me forever to go back and try to delete each extra line. Is there a regular expression I could use with Textpad (or Wildedit, I'm just checking it out) that could fix this problem for my files? Thanks

Replace
\n\n
with
\n

Should have known it was that simple

Thanks
