Hi,

Can anybody help me wit a RegEx problem I cannot get fixed.

I what to unwrap several lines.
All the lines beginning with a lowercase character should not be on various lines, but one single line.

ie:
This is
a test
for this RegEx.
This
too.

Must become:
This is a test for this RegEx.
This too.

For now I have found a way to get all lowercase: \n^[[:lower:]].
But what must I place in the replace with field? I have tried \1, but then \1 is filled into the text directly (I have regular expressins tagged).

Could someone help me here?

The above problem fixes only one problem, becuase I have still the problem to resolve about the tokens and upper characters in a textfile that not get corrected this way.

I you have any RegEx way to get text files with a fixed length into a "normal" unwrapped file I would like to know! This would help me a lot.

Thanks, JP

replace
\n\([[:lower:]]\)
by
\1

You have to tell what you want to remember by putting it between \(\)
or, when using POSIX Syntax, between ().

Hi Andreas,

Thanks, this helped!

Is there somebody who can help me with a good unwrapping method though?

Thanks, JP

Find...: \.\n<br>
Replace: &\n

These expressions add a blank line at the end of each sentence. Now select all and hit ALT+CTRL+J. Remove blank lines if you need to.

Hope this helps,

Roy

Oops, I meant SHIFT+CTRL+J
