How Do I Use GREP RegEx to Remove Newline Characters (like CR, LF)?

Hey Guys,

Let's make that just a trifle more robust.

Sometimes horizontal whitespace can sneak into what you think are empty blank lines, and you may also want to prevent the last line from having a linefeed.

JM's pattern has the advantage of simplicity and of taking any line endings and ensuring they end up being linefeeds, but you would need a second pass to remove the last linefeed (if desired).

The regular expression below REQUIRES macOS 10.11 or later.
