Actually it could be done using a simple script like this one (experimental
version - bug reports/comments welcome ...)
The another function splits text in separate lines using the given separator
(regular expression metacharacters need to be escaped with backslash "\" )
If someone would be interested in testing it, you can simply save it e.g. to
???\PSPad\Script\JScript\join.js
recompile scripts and run it from the script menu
Since it is a pretty simple javascript, there might be some performance issues
on larger files,
so I don't think, it would be worth adding on a extensions page...
