I have searched the forum and couldn't find exactly what I am looking for.

Before Data:

blank line
blank line

After Data:
text text text text
Blank Line
text text text text
Blank Line

The Text Lines can be almost any amount.
The blank lines can also be any amount.

Find what: ^(.+)\n(.+)
Replace with: \1 \2

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

Replace All repeatedly until it beeps.

Then

Find what: \n\n
Replace with: \n

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

Replace All repeatedly until it beeps.

These assume you are using Posix regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

[MudGuard]

Replace

Code: Select all

\n([^\n])

(i.e. a line-break followed by something other than a line-break) by

Code: Select all

\1

(i.e the "something other than a line-break)

(in Textpad: Posix Regular Expression Syntax must be checked!)
