Notepad++: Reducing multiple line breaks to single

Question

My text document has multiple line breaks at random places. Want to use Notepad++ to reduce any multiple line breaks to a single line break. How can I accomplish that?

I am on the lines of using \n in extended Find/replace mode but can't quite get it.

Answer 1

You can use a regular expression S&R:

(?:\r\n){2,}

or

\R{2,}

in the Find what field and

\r\n

in the Replace with field. You may adjust the replacement pattern as per your needs.
