I must've browsed every solution on StackOverflow, nothing seems to be removing the blank line's from text file which looks like this:
google
yahoo
facebook
reddit
Amongst other sources, I've tried:
File.foreach("file.txt") { |line|
line.gsub(/^$\n/, '')
}
and
replace = text.gsub /^$\n/, ''
File.open("file.txt", "w") { |file| file.puts replace }
However, these aren't working. I'm tearing my hair out, it seems that there is no native Nokogiri method, and regular expressions aren't working either.
