lineoffset doesn't find empty lines

I would think that technically, it should work with wholeMatches =
true. Otherwise, with wholeMatches = false, it should return nothing.
I based this on consistency with the "normal" string logic that:
empty = empty (TRUE)
empty contains empty (FALSE)
With that said, it sounds like lineOffset isn't equipped to deal with
this. Maybe you could use something like:
offset( (the lineDelimiter)&(thelineDelimiter) ) ?
