Do it with Perl. If you don't know it, it
Do it with Perl. If you don't know it, it's
time to learn.
This script will do it:
#!/usr/bin/perl -pw
chomp;
next if /^\s+$/;
$_ =~ s/^\s+(.*)$/$1\n/;
run as my_script file_to_fix.txt > fixed_file.txt

Here are some sed commands that do what you want -- in the [] brackets,
there is a space and a tab.
$ cat removeblanks.sed
/^[ ]*$/d
s/^[]*//
s/[ ]*$//
Here's a test file.
$ cat test.txt
This is a real line, the lines above are a carriage return, a tab and
spaces.
Look into using sed. It was made for that kind of thing.
