You could also use one line of preg_replace...
$my_string = preg_replace("/\n{2,}/", "\n", $my_string);

Hi Phill,
My understanding is that the REGEX engine loads into ram and
consumes resources as both RAM and CPU cycles.
Normally I would use REGEX if I am loading it anyway to use for something
like validating user input but otherwise I avoid loading it for simple
tasks.
Is this right? or have I been misled ?
Thanks, Rob.
