Atom (FREE!) - Join Multiple Lines on Windows

I was looking for this feature because I wanted to join multiple lines from converting an image to text with 'Snipping Tool'.

 

If you have to do this task very often, try using Atom. The power of code editor makes jobs done fast.


Don't worry because you don't have to be a coder. Believer me!



The test steps - Atom 1.60.0 ia32
OS: Windows 11 Home
Download from the developer's website: https://github.com/atom/atom


1. Go to the link above.


Click 'Latest'

At 'Assets', download 'atom-windows.zip'.

Unzip the downloaded file. There are 2 folders, open folder 'Atom'.

2. Open file 'atom'. There are tabs -- 'Welcome' and 'Welcome guide'. You can close them.


Click menu 'File' --> 'New File'.


The status bar at the bottom shows 'Plain Text'. If you want to try other formats, click 'Plain Text'.



The search box shows, you can search and select the format.

Save the document.


Select lines that you want to join.

Click menu 'Edit' --> 'Join Lines'.

In the blink of an eye, the output showed. In the picture above you can see the line number, there are 2 lines not 3. Thanks to the power of code editor.
