still no joy, that works to get rid of all my paragraph breaks, but that I don't need, I want to do it selectively, only for the breaks following .txt
There must be some reasonable way to do this...... Thanks for your help so far, I'll take any and all ideas at this stage. Either I figure this out or have to dump this into Windows and edit in Word, which I'm trying like mad to avoid. ED On 6/21/07, Anthony Chilco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi again, It appears that this still won't give you what you want. If you search for Peter$ and replace it with xxx, the paragraph break remains. You could replace all paragraph breaks with some letter combination not used in you file: with regular expressions turned on search for = $ replace with = xx99xx Then search for your specific letters followed by xx99xx and replace them with the semi-colon and space. Then search for xx99xx and replace it with a paragraph break (\n).
