multiline - Replacing multiple blank lines with one blank line using RegEx search and replace

Question

I have a file that I need to reformat and remove "extra" blank lines.

I am using the Perl syntax regular expression search and replace functionality of UltraEdit and need the regular expression to put in the "Find What:" field.

Here is a sample of the file I need to re-format.

All current text

REPLACE with all the following:

You'll notice that some of the double blank lines have spaces or tabs or both in them.

After the search and replace has been run I should have a file that looks like this.

Is what I ended up with.

This only selects blank lines in multiples of two or more and replaces them with one.
