Ive tried to make a line add mini macro

Empty line here

What it does?
Well, i just click ADD, see what happens

0122/12Firstone

As we can't see your code we don't know how this file is being produced and why the blank line is there. We can give you code to remove a blank line from the end of a file, but wouldn't it be better if we could prevent the blank line from being output in the first place? We may be able to have a stab at that if we knew how the file was being created.

Anyhow, this code will remove a blank line from the end of a file:

Let>file=%SCRIPT_DIR%\test2.txt
ReadFile>file,filedata
Trim>filedata,filedata
DeleteFile>file
WriteLn>file,wlr,filedata

All it does is read the file in, trim the content, delete the original file and write it out again.

But, as I said, maybe we should look at how this blank line is winding up there in the first place and look to prevent that happening.
