Question

I recently downloaded a css file and I accidentally formatted it to this:

.clearfix{*zoom:1}.clearfix:before,.clearfix:after{display:table;content:"";line-

height:0}.clearfix:after{clear:both}.hide-text{font:0/0 a;color:transparent;text-

shadow:none;background-color:transparent;border:0}

for about 10,000 lines.

How can I remove all the spaces so it looks like:

.clearfix{*zoom:1}.clearfix:before,.clearfix:after{display:table;content:"";line-height:0}.clearfix:after{clear:both}.hide-text{font:0/0 a;color:transparent;text-shadow:none;background-color:transparent;border:0}

for example.

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

If you use a text editor like Sublime text, you could use regex to get every space and then delete it.

Regex:

\s

If not, you can use simple website tools like:

CSS Minifier

Online YUI Compressor

CSS Compressor

OTHER TIPS

You can try online CSS minifiers. Here is list for beginning:

Hopefully you will find useful for time being, and for future I'm recommending to start using CSS libraries such as LESS or SASS, which you can easily compress later on.
