Urgent help - String operation

[J.Dred]

Dear People,

I have the following difficulty. I have a few Mega Byte long string, constructed like this:
.............
..............
100000001
1003ff001
1010013ff
1000003ff
1023fe001
102000000
1010013fd
0ff0033fc
0ff002001
001001001
...................
..................
but sometimes the string I get has empty line in between the rows, like:

................
.................
100000001
1003ff001

1010013ff
1000003ff

1023fe001
102000000
1010013fd

0ff0033fc
0ff002001
001001001
...............
.................

Now,I simply want to cut those emty rows so the string should contain no blank rows and gets a form like the first case.

I need urgent help!

Best Regards
john

If you have only single empty lines, you could just do a global replace of "\n\n" with "\n" (\-codes display).

Modify for your exact line delimiter. "Search and replace string" is in the string palette. 🙂

Dear Altenbach,

here is the vi, as you suggested. But not functioning 😞 😞 😞

I definetely have to solve this problem.

thank you very much

code display is differend from normal display.

Switch to code display and then enter "\n"

Also you can place a "String Constand" and press ENTER. (in normal display). Then if you switch to code display it will automatic change to "\n".

Write some strings and change it to code display to understant the differences. "Code", display all ASCII characters
