Greetings! I have a very large text file with about 90,000 lines in it. A vast majority of the lines are blank. (In case anyone is interested, it was created with the bookmanager print-to-file command) My question involves is this: When 3 (or "N") or more blank lines are found, delete them. Leaving 2 in their place, and possibly a marker. Is this easy in PERL? (I know everthing in PERL is easy to a lot of you folks, it's just not intuitively obvious to me, yet!) Thanks!
