Ok now I'm really being a pest. Your code works on your
example but not on mine. I can't figure out why. But I really
appreciate the help so far from Chris and Simon so thanks.
Here is my example and what happens when I use your
code. I tried it by pasting text into a textarea part of a
form and also just having it in a plain text file (Windows system).
(I just tried creating a file on Unix also, same result.)
Removes the line breaks but also the multiples for paragraphs.
This isn't very important, more of a curiosity.

original text:
This is a story
of how the West was won.
Not about the Brady bunch
but how those guys with guns
somehow won.
I don't know who won, but
I do know the West was won.
So the West is number one.
Yay.
