I am trying to search for line breaks in a group of documents using wildedit. Below is a sample:

-


-                                              PAGE-  1 OF   2

Now the page numbers could possibly go up into the twentys, so I came up with the following, but it doesn't work:

\r\n\r\n\r\n-                                              PAGE-   [1-2][0-9] OF   [1-2][0-9]

All of the code was working until I put in the [1-2][0-9]

That expression will only work with pages 10-29.

If no lines will include PAGE-, then you could probably use

^-.*PAGE-.*\n

[/b] instead of

-            PAGE-   [1-2][0-9] OF   [1-2][0-9]

[/b] for the last line.

Or

\r\n\r\n\r\n- +PAGE- +[1-2]?[0-9] OF +[1-2]?[0-9]

Okay, I tried this:

Find What:
\r\n\r\n\r\n- +PAGE- +[1-2]?[0-9] OF +[1-2]?[0-9]

Replace With:
\r\n- +PAGE- +[1-2]?[0-9] OF +[1-2]?[0-9]\r\n\r\n

What was in the original file:



-                                              PAGE-  1 OF   1

What I got when I ran the replace:
- +PAGE- +[1-2][0-9] OF +[1-2][0-9]

What I hoped for:

-                                              PAGE-  1 OF   1

Find what: \r\n\r\n(\r\n- +PAGE- +[1-2]?[0-9] OF +[1-2]?[0-9])
Replace with: $1\r\n\r\n

[X] Regular expression
[X] Replacement format
