had you tried with regular expression search? Something like ^$ should match all empty lines. — freedev, Jan 08 '13 at 15:56

I would use the regular expression ^\s*$\n which will match any line that is empty or contains only whitespace characters.

Just run Replace All with that in the Find box, and with the replace box empty.

Replace "\n+" with "\n" (be sure that "regular expression" checkbox is on). This replaces several consecutive linebreaks with only one.
