Frequently asked questions

Good implementations typically treat whitespace-only lines the same as truly empty lines, since a line with just a few spaces looks empty but wouldn't be caught by an exact-empty-string check alone.

No - only blank lines are removed; the content and order of all remaining non-empty lines stays exactly the same.

This tool is specifically for removing empty/blank lines - if you need more selective line filtering based on other criteria, the Find & Replace or Remove Duplicates tools may be more appropriate.
