Remove unwanted blank line eclipse editor

Question

When i open any file in eclipse. it show alternative blank line after all the code lines and blank line. how can i remove it....

Solution 1

In eclipse preference setting you can remove all the unwanted blank lines. Eclipse: Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter > Edit the formatter and following screen will pop up.

And when you format the code all unwanted blank lines will be removed.

Solution 2

Find: ^\s*\n

Replace with: (empty)

Solution 3

Maybe you didn't understand what Anshu said. Do a Ctr-F on your editor. In the options, select Regular Expression. Enter ^\s*\n for the Find expression. Keep the Replace box empty. Replace All!

This of course might lead to removal of unwanted lines as well.

Solution 4

Due to your eclipse setting.

you can change your setting from preferences.

Solution 5

1. Find and replace as Regular Expressions with ^\s*\n
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + f
3. Press Ctrt + Shift + o

Hmm, ok try this. Go to Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter. Create a New Formatting profile. When you do that you will see a bunch of tabs. One of them will be 'Blank Lines'. Here there are a bunch of customization options. You can play with these and apply the new profile to your project.

Better answer than using regex, but didn't work in luna

Don't forget to choose "Regular expressions" in the find and replace dialog.
