No: as usual, you have it wrong; he meant what he wrote.  The user 
wants to remove what she calls "white lines" - actually empty 
paragraphs.  The circumflex character anchors the pattern to the 
beginning of a paragraph and the dollar sign to the end of a 
paragraph.  So ^$ matches an empty paragraph.
