Unix Tip #4668- December 21, 2024
DELETING BLANK LINES USING GREP
For thos who are not familiar with
awk, but still want a quick and easy
way of removing blank lines from a
flat ascii file, remember that the
use of 'cat' in conjuction with
'grep' is just as effective.
cat file1 | grep -v '^$' >file2
mv -f file2 file1
