What Text Editor for Linux?

Thu, 24 May 2007 00:00:00 +0000

I have been using emacs (or Xemacs) so far, but now I started to use Nedit . Seems to be quite powerful and fast (although nothing comes close to BBEdit, unfortunately only for Macs).

Deleting empty lines from text files (sed)

The following sed command deletes empty lines (and those with white spaces only) from text files:

sed -e '/^ *$/d' infile.txt > outfile.txt

You have to be careful though: if you copied the textfile from a Macintosh this script maybe won’t work. You first have to convert the Macintosh textfile into a UNIX textfile!
