Batch - type command that skips empty lines

Question

Is it possible to have the type command skip empty lines in a text file?

Or is there an alternate command that will print out the contents of a text file while skipping empty lines in that text file?

Answer 1

solution for sed for Windows

sed "/^$/d" file_with_empty_lines > file_without_empty_lines

or without external tools:

(for /f "usebackqdelims=" %%a in ("file_with_empty_lines") do echo(%%a)> file_without_empty_lines
