Hi All,
  Can some provide me a example of how to remove all blank

This one doesn't read the entire file into memory:

import std.stdio;
import std.array;
import std.algorithm;
import std.uni;

void main(string[] args)
{
        auto inputFile = File(args[1]);
        auto outputFile = File(args[2], "wb");
        
        inputFile
                .byLine
                .filter!(line => !line.all!isWhite)
                .copy(outputFile.lockingTextWriter);
}

But if you want to replace the input file, you'd have to write 
to a temp file, remove the original, then move the temp file.

Hi All,

  Thank you very much, was able to resolve the issue.
