That grep works pretty well, I have run it over a few of my projects, and am now happy enough to let it automatically replace all the strings found with a null string.

(I use version control, so can easily back out of any disasters).

However I notice that it will not pick up hyphenated strings such as;

line floor-step

endline

Any clever person figure  out how to make it find both hyphenated and non-hyphenated empty objects.

I’ll add something to the wiki in due course.

…

I made a simple grep patter to find such "null lines" in th2 files:
 
I have try grep search/replace
 
^\s*(\w+) \w+\s+end\1
 
and it looks it works
