I have a text file with a thousand lines of numbers like so:
402 115 90 ... As you can see there is a blank line in between each number that I want to remove so that I have
402 115 90 ... How can I do this?

First you need to open the file with Notepad++. Once the document is loaded, select Edit > Line Operations > Remove Empty Lines. Voilà, every single blank lines has been deleted.
Click Search and then Replace. In the Replace window, in the Find what section, type ^\n (caret, backslash 'n') and leave the Replace with section blank, unless you want to replace a blank line with other text. Check the Regular Expression box. Click the Replace All button to replace all blank lines.
Edit > Line operations > Remove Empty Lines and NotePad++ removes ALL the empty lines in the entire document!
Within notepad there is no way to use the Find and Replace and target blank lines. Consider Notepad++ and the regex search and replace. You can use \r\n to find blank lines from text files made within Windows, \r for Mac and \n for Linux.
Press Ctrl+H (Replace)
Select Extended from SearchMode
Put \r\n\r\n in Find What
Put \r\n in ReplaceWith
Click on Replace All
