I had to remove blank lines from a text file that contained a line having more than 4096 bytes/characters. I tried to open it using vi editor/pico editor, but it couldn't be opened. I found out that vi limits the line size of a file to 4096. I finally had to make use of an awk command to remove the blank lines. However can anybody tell me if there is a fix/patch to override this issue in VI editor?
