Problem while replacing the multiple blank lines Hello:
I am having a problem while replacing multi-blank line with a single line. I tried to add this in a macro i.e. replace \n\n with \n, here i need to run the macro multiple times that i dont want to as there are lot of files. Is it possible to replace multiple blank lines as we do multiple spaces i.e. (\s){2,} with \1. in one go. can i use some "character classes" presesnt in regex. Also how should I use the character classes. |

In that case, you can go to "Replace in Files" on the Search menu, and Find: (\r\n){2,} Replace with: \r\n File Type: *.txt (or enter file type) In Folder: File folder Check "Use Regular Expressions" Don't check "Keep Modified Files Open"
