    Hello.

    Is it possible to remove all space between characters in a text document so that everything is compacted onto one line? Space typically varies between 1 and 10 spaces, and some empty lines between lines also.

    So if a text document had 3 lines:

    Cat
    Mouse
    Dog

    or

    Cat

    Mouse

    Dog

    ...it becomes:

    CatMouseDog

    Some files have far more lines of text but would take too long to manually remove all the empty space.

    Thanks.

      Search->Replace
      Find what: [\r\n\s]
      Replace with: leave this field empty
      Check In Current file
      Check Regular expressions and choose Perl
      Check Replace all from top of file
      Press Replace all button ....

          One more note: \s+ would be enough as search string as the character class referenced by \s includes all white spaces, see white space section in Perl Regular Expression Character Classes documentation.

          Please note that in UltraEdit the Boost regular expression library is used and not ActivePerl. Therefore small differences are possible in character class set definitions, too.
