Text > *Remove Line Breaks* is indeed a very useful command. Thanks Jeffrey
for pointing to it.
But *Remove Line Breaks* doesn't make a distinction between left aligned
text and indented text as the proposed regular expression find/replace does.
In most cases, you want indented text to be left untouched.
Try both solutions on this snippet of text and look at the resulting Code
example section :
--
This is some long wrapped text line,
that is followed by some indented section.
Code example:
A = "a"; // A Comment.
B = "b";
This is another wrapped paragraph with more text,
blablabla, blablabla, blablabla ...
