To remove empty lines from a text file in Linux or Unix, you can use the following command:
grep . file.txt > output.txt
This command uses grep
to search for lines that contain a period .
and writes the matching lines to a new file called output.txt
. This effectively removes all empty lines from the input file file.txt
.
Note: The original file is not modified. The filtered output is written to a new file called output.txt
. You can replace the output file name output.txt
with any other name as desired.
