No turning back now... ;-)

just fyi, most of us rev users would consider 25 seconds
 to process 140 lines of text as very slow...

Of course I never use progress bars. I've processed 2meg files of raw text mailing lists
(loaded into a variable of course -- close to 20M lines) doing similar "clean ups"
of empty lines and other garbage... in under 5 seconds.


And, yes, several of us also fell out of our chairs the first time we saw this.

 I wonder if the replace (cr& cr) with cr would be even faster?

I'm interested because I'm about to embark on a major text re-purposing job here... where I will be loaded a series of files one after another and then executing the code and writing out the data again to the same file (copies of originals)

executed the same job on the same 140k lines of text. 25
seconds. Total. Needless to say, I nearly fell out of my chair, onto the
floor, in the throes of ecstasy.
