How can one find and get rid of multiple blank lines in a replacement operation?
Something like replace
[\n]+
with
\n
???
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Re: Replacing extra blank lines
unfortunately, +, * and so on do not work together with \n
search for \n\n and replace with \n
repeat until no replacements occur.

regex Find ^\n\n

I have this set up in a Macro. It's probably also a good idea to include Search, Clear All Bookmarks BEFORE the Find.

thanks to all;
Ken, yours works very nicely and cleans them all at once. I've FINALLY created a macro that will let me clean *everything* except valid email addresses out of a file and then get rid of the spacing as well. very handy.
