Remove Empty Lines
Remove all blank and whitespace-only lines from text.
Remove Empty Lines strips all blank lines (including lines containing only spaces or tabs) from your text, producing a compact result with only non-empty content lines.

FAQ
- What counts as an empty line?
- An empty line is any line that contains no characters, or only whitespace characters such as spaces and tabs. Lines with at least one non-whitespace character are kept.
- Does the tool remove lines with spaces or just truly empty lines?
- The tool removes both truly empty lines (zero characters) and whitespace-only lines (lines containing only spaces, tabs, or other whitespace). It uses the trim() function to detect whitespace-only content.
- How is this different from Remove Duplicate Lines?
- Remove Empty Lines removes all blank/whitespace-only lines regardless of their content, keeping all non-empty lines including duplicates. Remove Duplicate Lines keeps only the first occurrence of each unique line, regardless of whether lines are blank.
