Hi Martin Yes, a regex is described on the wiki https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/tips?s[]=empty#checking_and_erasing_empty_obj ects_in_th2_files <https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/tips?s%5b%5d=empty#checking_and_erasing_empt y_objects_in_th2_files>
I use it from time to time when I feel the need. It does not find empty scraps however, probably because our empty scrap definitions are quite busy. For example; scrap IH-InceptionPlan-s2 -projection plan -station-names ih @ih -author 2011.02.23 "A Nonymous" -scale [-128.0 -128.0 10718.5511811 -128.0 0.0 0.0 275.5024 0.0 m] endscrap If anyone is clever enough to improve the regex, please do. Although, because the empty scraps usually come from the particular way I use TopParser, there is almost always a maximum of one per th2 file. It is always at the end of the file, so using a semi-automated method of finding them within the file is unnecessary, if one is disciplined enough to check each file when the drawing is 'finished', or if, as there is now, a feature in Therion that (indirectly) highlights their existence. However adding a Therion log entry for each empty object would be helpful.

On the other hand it is a good way to highlight the existence of empty scraps! Several years ago there was publish a regular expression for removing empty objects from .th2 files here. Is it complicated to add check for empty object to compilation routine? Martin Sluka
