How can I remove empty lines in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)?

You can do it using the regular expression in SSMS:

1. Ctrl-H to bring up the Find And Replace window
2. Select USE -> Regular Expressions
3. Put ^\n in the Find What
4. Keep Replace With empty
5. Click Replace (All)

Good luck

I have gone through the below steps, and it worked for me.

1. Menu Tools → Customize → Commands → Add command → Edit → Delete blank line → OK.
2. The Delete Blank Lines menu appears in beside the File menu.
3. Open/Select Query - Click "Delete Blank Lines".
4. Enjoy.

You can use: Find and replace

• Find what: \n\n
• Replace with: \n
• use: 'regular expressions'
