This should work on all systems (not tested)
REReplace(str,"(#chr(13)#|#chr(10)#|#chr(13)##chr(10)#)\1+","\1","all");
This will not remove them if there is any spaces or tabs after the
returns. If you want all blank lines removed, it should be (again not
tested):
REReplace(str,"(#chr(13)#|#chr(10)#|#chr(13)##chr(10)#)[ #chr(9)#]*(\1[
#chr(9)#]*)*\1","\1","all");
If you are on cfmx you could use :
REReplace(str,"(\r|\n|\r\n)[ \t]*(\1[ \t]*)*\1","\1","all");
Watch out for wrapping:
no spaces in the first regexp,
a space before each #chr(9)# in the second,
a space before each \t in the third.
