What is the Remove Empty Lines tool?
The Remove Empty Lines tool is an online utility that automatically detects and removes all empty or blank lines from your text. It scans through your text line by line and eliminates any lines that contain only whitespace or are completely empty, leaving you with a clean, compact version of your original text.
How does the Remove Empty Lines tool work?
Simply paste or type your text into the 'Original text' field, then click the 'Remove' button. The tool will:
1. Split your text into individual lines
2. Check each line to see if it's empty or contains only whitespace
3. Remove all empty lines
4. Optionally sort the remaining lines (A-Z or Z-A)
5. Optionally convert the case (UPPER, lower, or keep default)
6. Display the cleaned text in the result field
The process is instant and works with any amount of text.
What are the additional options available?
The tool offers several useful options:
- Sort results: Alphabetically sort your lines from A-Z or 0-9
- Reverse sorting: When sort is enabled, you can reverse the order to Z-A or 9-0
- Case conversion: Choose to keep the default case, convert everything to UPPERCASE, or convert to lowercase
These options are applied after removing empty lines, giving you maximum flexibility in formatting your output.
When should I use the Remove Empty Lines tool?
