Well, back on January 08, 2008 Tim gave me a quite helpful command to get rid
of blank lines, useing sed. Most times it works quite well, however, when I
try-and-edit an article from the printer friendly version of Time Magazine,
these sample supposedly blank lines will not go away.
The previous sed command can be tweaked:
sed '/^[ \t*]*$/d' in_file.txt > out_file.txt
You can add characters to the set of characters to disregard. In
the above, it's a space, a yab (\t) and an asterisk.
Or you can just use it as a pipe:
lynx -dump http://example.com | sed '/^[ \t*]*$/d' > out.txt
-tim
