Hi,
It does not help. It does not help. Here is the piece of code:

Code:
[lxplus311] /afs/cern.ch/user/p/pooja/scratch0/CMSSW/CMSSW_4_2_7_patch1/src/Analyzer/Analyser/AnalyserCode/data > grep -v "^$" < data.txt > file.txt
[lxplus311] /afs/cern.ch/user/p/pooja/scratch0/CMSSW/CMSSW_4_2_7_patch1/src/Analyzer/Analyser/AnalyserCode/data > cat file.txt
rfio:///castor/cern.ch/user/s/sudha/27Aug/data/datav1/data_10_1_Z8e.root
rfio:///castor/cern.ch/user/s/sudha/27Aug/data/datav1/data_11_1_5ms.root
rfio:///castor/cern.ch/user/s/sudha/27Aug/data/datav1/data_12_1_oAv.root
rfio:///castor/cern.ch/user/s/sudha/27Aug/data/datav1/data_13_1_VCv.root
[lxplus311] /afs/cern.ch/user/p/pooja/scratch0/CMSSW/CMSSW_4_2_7_patch1/src/Analyzer/Analyser/AnalyserCode/data >

For me the litmus test is to do
Code:
 $cat file.txt

if prompt comes with text (in the same line), then only that blank lines goes away. As you can find in the above code this is not the case.

To make clear what I am saying, here is the Corrected code (corrected manually):
Code:
[lxplus311] /afs/cern.ch/user/p/pooja/scratch0/CMSSW/CMSSW_4_2_7_patch1/src/Analyzer/Analyser/AnalyserCode/data > cat data.txt
