Well, in the meantime I found that \n in the Replace field with the regular Find and Replace represents a paragraph break. In the Search For field $ should be used. The recipe with the regular Find and Replace then becomes: (all Find/replace with "Regular expressions"" ticked): 1. Choose two characters that do not appear in your text. I chose # an §. 2. Mark every song title, except the first one, with # at the beginning of the line. 3. Find & replace: Search For: $ Replace With: § Replace all 4. Find & Replace: Search for: §# Replace With: \n 5. Select all text and then Tools > Sort. 6. Find & Replace: Search for: § Replace with: \n -- Piet van Oostrum <[email protected]> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
