I have a svg file, it was created in the Adobe Illustrator 19.0.0 Software, and then exported into the *.svg.
Originally in AI Software, the file (*.ai) had a number of layers, for instance, rooms, wins, doors, etc. But after export in the Inkscape 0.91 I don't see the layers structure, only the their names. For instance, <svg: g id="rooms">.
Svg:

The second issue is empty lines in XML-Redactor.
1) Is there a way to restore laeyrs structure without "copy-paste operation"?
2) Is there a way to erase empty lines in XML-redactor?
Thanks.

Reason: Mediafire not very clear how to copy the image link to embed, I copied by right-clicking on the image and using the browser option, NOT by Mediafire sharing

You can add some attributes to those groups so that Inkscape could treat them as layers in Inkscape and not merely groups. Use the XML editor inside Inkscape, or simply open the SVG in a plain text editor and made the changes manually, save the file and then open in Inkscape.
Once you open the SVG with a text editor (Gedit, Notepad) or in XML editor, find the groups you want as layers, you will see something like this:
Add the inkscape:groupmode="layer" to all of them, after the ID attribute but before the closing bracket >, and add inkscape:label="Door" with the name you want for the layer. So you end up with:
Search for "<g" in your text editor if it's not easy to find the groups, or search for the ID names as you're probably familiar with them (door, stairs).
After you save the file with the text editor, save as plain text, extension SVG, then open it in Inkscape and you should be able to see the layers, turn off their visibility and manipulate just as normal
Or in XML editor at the bottom right you have an interface for adding new attributes. Make sure you have the correct group select (in the left pane), then type the attribute name in the top one, and the attribute value in the bottom field, and press Set button. For example type "inkscape:groupmode" in the top field, and "layer" (without the quotes) in the bottom field and press, Set, then do the same for the layer label attribute.
I haven't noticed any problems with viewing code in the XML editor, no empty lines. But I'm on Linux, are you on windows? You can edit

Re: How to restore laeyrs structure and erase empty lines in XML-redactor
Do you have the svg from illustrator ? and a screenshot of what are the layers
Maybe it could be "as simple" as running it through a xslt to look for g followed by another g to turn them into a "layer"
