linux script that deletes blank lines in a text file

Question

I tried searching in here, but it's seems there is only commands that helps to delete blank lines in text file.

Is there a linux bash script that I can execute to delete blank lines in any text file I want ?

Sine you have found the commands that helps to delete blank lines, you can now create your own bash script by inserting those commands to the bash file. Simply copy the command that works into the file, then run chmod +x to make the file executable. Now you can execute the bash file — taari, Oct 20 '18 at 16:50

Replace file.txt with the name and path to your file and run this command in the shell:

sed -i '/^$/d' file.txt
