  Hi

  Does any one know of a utility that can clean blank lines in a Windows text file. Perhaps a piece of VB code that I can use to accomplish this?

  For example

  Text File BEFORE*********************

  dfjkhsdfhjsdkf 3434 343dfdf 23 fdf

  675 79 gfdgsdfs 565 dfsdfsdfsdf

  sdfsdfdsfdsfsdf sdsdfsdf sdfsdfdsf dsfsdfsd

  09565 2345 sdff sdfsdf kljl 345345

  Text File AFTER*********************

  dfjkhsdfhjsdkf 3434 343dfdf 23 fdf

  675 79 gfdgsdfs 565 dfsdfsdfsdf

  sdfsdfdsfdsfsdf sdsdfsdf sdfsdfdsf dsfsdfsd

  09565 2345 sdff sdfsdf kljl 345345

  You could write an Active X task to do this. Using the FileSystemObject, you can read a line and write a line. If one is blank, then don't write it.
