I got an annoying problem which has been existing for my blogs at least since v2.9, can be reproduced by me on several hosting providers and for which I hope someone here has a fix:
normally I edit plugin and theme files via Dreamweaver. When I have to do a quick change, I sometimes also use the built in editor to edit plugin or theme files.
If I open these changed files afterwards via Dreamweaver (or simply by downloading them via ftp and opening them via editor or notepad), extra blank lines were added after each line:
before:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
hello
...after:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
hello
...This is very annoying as it bloats up my files, makes them developer-unfriendly to read and each time before I commit my changes to github for example, I have to replace those extra lines by running the following find/replace query via a regular expression:
find [\r\n]{2,}
replace with \n
I already searched official WordPress trac once and found a ticket (which I couldnt find again :-/) where a user reported a similar problem and developers said that this should be fixed - which is definitely NOT fixed.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I dont want to run the regular expression each time before commiting to github as it takes a lot of time to remove those extra lines on large files.
Thanks for any help!
