Subject: repexp to collapse multiple blank lines into one
Date: Sun, 09 Oct 2005 12:27:07 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <v082f.11337$vw6.9392@newsread1.news.atl.earthlink.net> (raw)

Is there a way to use M-C-% to flush extra blank lines from a buffer.
Something like:
Query replace regexp:  ^$+ [which of course doesn't work, presumably
because $ has to be last]
with:      C-j

I know about C-x C-o but that's interactive rather than batch mode.

Thanks,

Ed
