Hello,

You can delete these empty lines in reading by using "Transformation Scripting" and a filter on the metadata.

First in the properties of the metadata you can apply the following Rhino script which replaces all empty lines with the value "empty":

Script :

ret=new Array();
if (__string__==""){
ret[0]="empty";
}
else {
ret[0] = __string__;
}
ret;

Then you would have to add a new filter in the metadata:

which will return only rows that don't have the string "empty" at the beginning of the row
