How to remove empty lines from a formatted string

by

If you also want to remove lines that only contain whitespace, use

resultString = Regex.Replace(subjectString, @"^\s+$[\r\n]*", string.Empty, RegexOptions.Multiline);

^\s+$ will remove everything from the first blank line to the last (in a contiguous block of empty lines), including lines that only contain tabs or spaces.

[\r\n]* will then remove the last CRLF (or just LF which is important because the .NET regex engine matches the $ between a \r and a \n, funnily enough).
