| Question/Problem Description | On Windows platforms executing itadmin commands to add configuration setting to an Orbix configuration file also inserts empty lines.

Does Orbix provide any tool to remove the surplus of empty line from the configuration file? Can itadmin be used to remove empty lines from a configuration file? |

| Cause | |
| Resolution | Orbix does not provide any tools to remove empty or surplus empty lines from an Orbix configuration file. Using a text editor for example Notepad (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) with the TextFX plugin installed (Plugins->Plugin Manager->Show Plugin Manager and install TextFX plugin), you can simply load the configuration file, mark all text (Ctrl A), then select menu TextFX->TextFX Edit->Delete Surplus Blank Lines. This removes all surplus empty lines. |
