I have indexed a file that contains a number of blank event s with a timestamp, my goal is to remove those blank/Empty events by grouping them up and then "| delete" , what's the best way of doing this?

Note: these empty events have timestamp

I figured it out, as created a Regex that would locate a great amount of spaces after the timestamp into its own field, then I would search everything discarding that Field.
