When using IntelliJ IDEA's automatic Java -> Kotlin converter, the blank lines are lost, making the code not that readable. Is there an approach to avoid this or recover the blank lines?

For example,

line1;
line2;

line3;
line4;

may be converted to something without the blank line at the middle.

CodePudding user response：

As a workaround you may do the following:

1. Replace all blank lines with some comment. You may do this by replacing

<Ctrl Shift Enter>
\s*
<Ctrl Shift Enter>

with

<Ctrl Shift Enter>
//newLine
<Ctrl Shift Enter>

(don't forget to turn on usage of regex):

2. Convert file from Java->Kotlin
3. Delete comment (replace it with empty string)
