How the calculation works
Each line is tested after trimming whitespace. Lines with no remaining characters are removed; non-empty lines are kept in their original order.
How to use it
- Paste the text or list.
- Select Remove empty lines.
- Review the compacted result and removal count.
Practical example
A list containing ten entries separated by five blank lines is reduced to the same ten entries with those empty lines removed.
