It will be nice to be able to delete empty lines in Kate.
Now we are able to replace lines with a regexp .*something.* with an empty line, but there is no way to delete these empty lines, or at least I do not know how to do it.
NOTE: I do not know also how to do it with VI.

It is very usefull when you want to investigate log files and you want to delete common stuff from the logs (without creating a perl program to do that).

Regards.

In Vim you can achieve this with the command ":%s/^\n//g".

You should be able to do this once multi-line search works. If not, please re-open.
