I was wrong.
Here's what happens:
Find: ([^\r])\r([^\r])
Replace: \1 ** \2
Using Replace All, it goes through steps
Starting:
Peter Frost
25:34
yes
Here it finds the last 't' in Frost, the return following that, and the
'2' that starts the next line, yielding:
Peter Frost ** 25:34
yes
Then it finds the '4' in 25:34, the return after that, and the 'y' that
starts the next line.
Bingo:
Peter Frost ** 25:34 ** yes
Kerri's method was correct!
