Command to remove all white space?

[Jamie]

Is there a function to remove all white space/compress my code? I seem to be missing this feature and figure I am just overlooking it somewhere.

It may not satisfy your needs, but to remove all white space you could press CTRL+H to bring up the Find & Replace panel, then make sure that regular expression button is toggled (it's labelled .*), then have the following in the input fields:

Find what: \s
Replace with:

That is, an empty input replacing it. It performs a bit slowly on my machine, mind you.

Perfect! Thanks so much. Wish I could just make that a button, but this serves the purpose. It's a little slow on the current file, but its 1400 lines, which won't be the usual.

You can try the RemoveWhitespace plugin

is there anyway to control this removal process so that markup such as the following:
<ul>
<li><a href="#">SubVert Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">SubVert Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">SubVert Item 3</a></li>
</ul>

becomes:
<ul><li><a href="#">SubVert Item 1</a></li><li><a href="#">SubVert Item 2</a></li><li><a href="#">SubVert Item 3</a></li></ul>


instead of:
<ul><li><ahref="#">SubVertItem1</a></li><li><ahref="#">SubVertItem2</a></li><li><ahref="#">SubVertItem3</a></li></ul>

notice the difference in the <a href>

remove new lines only \n

remove new lines only \n

That works perfectly. Thanks EJ12N

just one more question concerning removing white space. I can remove newlines which is good, but how would you trim the whitespace that is between subsequent text and tags.
ex:
<ul>
<li><a href="#">SubVert Item 1 </a> </li>
<li><a href="#">SubVert Item 2 </a> </li>
<li><a href="#">SubVert Item 3 </a> </li>
</ul>

becomes:
<ul><li><a href="#">SubVert Item 1</a></li><li><a href="#">SubVert Item 2</a></li><li><a href="#">SubVert Item 3</a></li></ul>

Try Ctrl+J (join lines)

Try Ctrl+J (join lines)

I tried that, but that has not affect on the extra spaces that are present once you remove the new lines.
