[macvoiceover] Re: blank lines

Generally in the MacOS you choose a file with a getfile dialog. There is a standard scripting extention that has this function in the OS the problem being that it is not very navigable via VoiceOver. You can do this 

set theFile to choose file with prompt "Get me a file" of type "TEXT"
Another approach is to use automator whose interface is able to navigate with VO. In this case you would use the Ask for Finder items action and then pass the results onto a awk shell script.

Greg,
I must confess that I wanted you to write a script. because I have been trying out to figure how to get a file name in apple script. 
I was going to use sed command line setd'/^$/d' filename.
Thanks
