Dear Tony,
Thanks for taking interest in solving my problem. I did not understand
your comment initially.
I did some copying from a PDF material. When I paste, each line is
broken into paragraphs. So, I needed to regroup broken lines into
paragraph.
Stage I (removing the paragraph break) : Usually I would mark the
paragraph beginning with "*" (but this could be anything). Then I shall
replace all the paragraph breaks with a space.
Stage II (inserting a paragraph break) : I shall replace all the "*"
with paragraph break.
I would be doing these two search / replace activity sequentially to
finish my task. My concern, however, if the number of ,similar search /
replace activity, is more than 2, what would be your suggestion. Another
related concern is that if I need to do those two search replace
activity in more than two sessions, your suggestion certainly can help
me save time.
with thanks,
pushparaj
