removing blank space before the start of text

[hownow]

I have been scraping the web for information.

When I do a copy of the entire page I can get it pasted into a field. The only problem I have is how to remove the Blank white space before the text starts

 

ex.

 

this is where the text starts

the line before this is what I want to get rid of

then there is only to remove commas etc.

I don't know how to remove the commas but

this is the hard part.

 

before "this is where the text starts"  there is a whole line of white space.

I don't know how to get rid of it.
