Not sure why you're using the "-" in your search string. The right one is "$" for end-of-paragraph marker, "^" for start-of-paragraph. To find blank lines, use "$^", or "^$".Alan McKinnon wrote:

I think this was mentioned fairly recently, but in case not, is there a regex for finding a new paragraph? I see /n, but its specced only for soft returns, in the Find field anyway. Unless I'm missing it, that seems a strange priority, as I use far more hard than soft paragraph returns.
Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul,
Try using $ - end of a paragrph. For some strange reason it won't find the last para in a doc though

I did try that: '$-' did not pick up:
... but others from good will. - Phi 1:15
I'm trying to replace '^-' (or, using more conventional new line notation, '\n-') with ' -' - that is, I'm trying to collapse paragraphs - but tying the search string to the end of the previous paragraph doesn't do it. That's probably because a multiline marker would be needed - another thing I didn't see listed in Help.
Thanks, Paul

If you look at the example I gave you'll see that '-' is part of the verse reference I'm trying to move up a line.
