I've been through the regular expressions, and I cannot find a set that do this job. For example: \n (which I would expect to locate a newline) doesn't find anything. ^$ will find a blank line, but $^$ won't locate a newline followed by a blank line. I even tried \.$^$ Now that found "." followed by newline and a blank line. I could even replace that with a tab using \.\t (to retain the "." at the end of the sentence. Find \.\t worked OK, but replace with \.$^$ put exactly those characters in the text. And I could not find anyway of finding a newline (on its own) and replacing it by a space. Could you give me specific details of how to do this, please. It's not only annoying and frustrating, but, as a Unix guru of 16+ years it makes me feel very stupid, too.
