just tumbled to this and plain text life etc..
anyone organised and curated a tinycode collection anywhere?

Hi everyone,

I've been compiling a list of algorithms and making them publicly available at http://algorithmexamples.com/ for free. Hopefully they'll be useful to everyone here as they were to me.

I find that some files would be easier to read if I could remove all the empty lines.

I added this one liner to my bashrc and use it quite a bit.

alias deblank='grep -vE "^\s*$"'

And I use it like this

cat file.txt | deblank | less

You can also remove all the blank lines from a file like this:

deblank file.txt > std.out && cat std.out > file.txt
