Ha! Fletcher and Rod, I got it to work right before Fletcher wrote using this in the find field:
(?s)^Last Updated: (.+?)\. (.+?), (.+?)\n\n(.+) And this in the replace field: Last Updated: \1\. \2, \3\n\nSynopsis:\n\n<==========================================================>\n\n\4\n<==========================================================>\n\n\n\n\n That works perfectly, and is a lot shorter than my previous attempt, and your attempts as well. Here is what it produces: Last Updated: Jan. 10, 2011 Synopsis: <==========================================================> Year 2000 Hype, Bogus Aliens Spirit Helpers Channelers And Esoteric Knowledge, The Blasphemous Urantia Book, Dolores Cannon And "Conversations With Nostradamus", False Angels Of Light And Other Questionable Sources, Propagation Of New Age Thought, Sheldon Nidle's Bogus UFO Mass Landings Prediction, An Imaginary Photon Belt, The Ascension Point, False Prophets And Charlatans Exposed By Time Itself, Scriptures Concerning False Prophets And Teachers, A Plethora Of Modern Deceivers, Christendom Also Infiltrated, The Social Networks Deception, 2012 Hype, Deceivers' Changing Narratives, Birds Of A Feather Flock Together For Support And Validation, Charlatan Tom Horn And Money-Making Book Writing Scam, Stanley A. Fulham And His Transcendors, Weeds And Parable Of Wheat And Tares, Measuring Rod Of God's Word, God Will Send Us Strong Delusion If That's What We Truly Want, Beware Of Time-Based Predictions, Verify Reliability Of Source Information, Failed Predictions Weaken Faith In God's Word, Modern Scoffers And Christ's Return, Satan's Scheme To Discredit True Prophets Of God, True Faith Does Not Require Evidence Signs Or Miracles, Modern Apostasy, Mary Apparition In Wisconsin, Decline Of Roman Catholicism And Mary Worship, Evil Generation Seeks A Sign, Jewish Elders Demanded A Sign, Jewish Religious Elders Concealed Evidence Of Resurrection <==========================================================> Kind regards, Bill Kochman > On Jul 23, 2025, at 12:21 AM, fletc...@cumuli.com wrote: > > The pattern .+ won't match multiple lines by default.
