How the Remove Empty Lines works
The tool splits your text into lines and drops any line that is empty or contains only spaces and tabs. All other lines are kept exactly as they were, in the same order, including their indentation.
It's useful for tidying text copied from PDFs, web pages and emails, and for cleaning up lists before deduplicating or sorting them.

- Are whitespace-only lines removed too?
- Yes. Lines containing only spaces or tabs are treated as empty and removed.
