This improves readability and follows common code formatting conventions. When the -Reformat switch is specified, additional formatting rules are applied to normalize the code structure. .PARAMETER code The source code or text string to process. Multiple consecutive empty lines within this text will be collapsed to a single empty line. .PARAMETER Reformat When specified, applies additional formatting rules beyond just removing double empty lines, such as normalizing indentation and spacing patterns. .EXAMPLE $cleanCode = $sourceCode | Remove-DoubleEmptyLines Pipes source code through the function to remove consecutive blank lines. .EXAMPLE Remove-DoubleEmptyLines -code $sourceCode -Reformat Removes double empty lines and applies additional formatting. #> function Remove-DoubleEmptyLines { [CmdletBinding()] [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSUseSingularNouns', '')] [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSUseShouldProcessForStateChangingFunctions', '')] [OutputType([string])] param( ########################################################################### [Parameter( Mandatory = $true, Position = 0, ValueFromPipeline = $false, HelpMessage = 'The source code or text string to process for ' + 'double empty line removal' )] [string] $code, ########################################################################### [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, ValueFromPipeline = $false, HelpMessage = 'Apply additional formatting rules beyond ' + 'double empty line removal' )] [switch] $Reformat ) begin { $sb = [System.Text.StringBuilder]::new() } process { $lines = $code.Replace("`r", "`n").Split("`n", [System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries); $lastNonEmptyLine = [string]::Empty $previousLastNonEmptyLine = [string]::Empty $lastLineWasEmpty = $false $hadSameLineStart = $false for ($i = 0; $i -lt $lines.Count; $i++) { $line = $lines[$i].TrimEnd() $isEmptyLine = [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($line) $isOpeningBrace = $line.Trim().EndsWith("{") $isClosingBrace = $line.Trim().EndsWith("}") $isLastLine = ($i -eq $lines.Count - 1) # determine if next line is empty or closing brace $nextLineIsEmpty = $false $nextLineIsClosingBrace = $false if ($i + 1 -lt $lines.Count) { $nextLine = $lines[$i + 1].TrimEnd() $nextLineIsEmpty = [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($nextLine) $nextLineIsClosingBrace = $nextLine.Trim().StartsWith("}") } $previousLastNonEmptyLine = $lastNonEmptyLine $lastNonEmptyLine = if (-not $isEmptyLine) { $line } else { $lastNonEmptyLine } # handle empty lines if ($isEmptyLine) { # skip empty lines at the end of the file if ($isLastLine) { continue } # rule 2: never output empty line before closing brace if ($nextLineIsClosingBrace) { # skip this empty line continue } # rule 3: never output two empty lines in a row if ($lastLineWasEmpty) { # skip this empty line continue } # output single empty line $null = $sb.Append("`r`n") $lastLineWasEmpty = $true } else { if ($Reformat) { $hadSameLineStart = $false if ($previousLastNonEmptyLine.Trim().Length -gt 4 -and $lastNonEmptyLine.Trim().Length -gt 4) { if ($previousLastNonEmptyLine.Trim().Substring(0, 4) -eq $lastNonEmptyLine.Trim().Substring(0, 4)) { while ($sb.Length -ge 0 -and ("`r`n `t".IndexOf($sb[$sb.Length - 1]) -ge 0)) { $null = $sb.Remove($sb.Length - 1, 1) } $null = $sb.Append("`r`n") $hadSameLineStart = $true } } if ((-not $lastLineWasEmpty) -and (-not $hadSameLineStart) -and (-not $isOpeningBrace) -and (-not $isLastLine) -and (-not $isClosingBrace)) { $null = $sb.Append("`r`n") } } if ($isOpeningBrace -and ((-not $nextLineIsEmpty) -or ($nextLine.Trim().EndsWith("{"))) -and (-not $isLastLine)) { $null = $sb.Append("`r`n") } # output non-empty line if ($isLastLine) { $null = $sb.Append($line) } else { $null = $sb.Append($line).Append("`r`n") } $lastLineWasEmpty = $false if ($isOpeningBrace -and (-not $nextLineIsEmpty) -and -not $isLastLine) { $null = $sb.Append("`r`n") $lastLineWasEmpty = $true } } } } end { Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Output ($sb.ToString()) } } ################################################################################ |
