Regex to Remove Empty Line and Number-CodePudding

I am having trouble removing the number following an empty line using Regex. Here's the sample paragraph that I have:

1
- Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of

2
the printing and typesetting industry.

49
and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker.

I need to remove all the numbers from the beginning of the sentence as well as the empty lines:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker.

This is the regex that I can think of [\n](.) ,but it can only remove one digit of number

The difficult part is to remove the number because the number of digits are not necessary 1 or 2 digits. How do I tackle this problem?

CodePudding user response：

Do a regex replace of the following regex with blank:

^\d*\n
