This is going to be hard to visualize without the actual mocked-up table I'm working with, but I'll give it a shot. You may recognize this as being quotes from "A Tale of Two Cities". I couldn't use the actual text in this example, since it's work-related.
I've got a table that I need to do a find...replace. I'll try to show it here. Each lined-off section is a cell in a table. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at that favoured period, as at this.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wo-ho! said the coachman.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What o'clock do you make it, Joe? Ten minutes, good, past eleven. € --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you say, Tom?€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They both listened.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I say a horse at a canter coming up, Joe. I say a horse at a gallop, Tom.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is that the Dover mail? € --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do you want to know?€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want a passenger, if it is.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, each cell ends with a € character when viewing the formatting in the document, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to include that as part of the find. I can easily enough do a find...replace where "^l ^l " is replaced with nothing when there are two "blank" lines (lines with just the and a space " ". But, when there is only one blank line, as in cell 4, if I try to replace "^l ", cell 7 then turns into " I say a horse at a canter coming up, Joe.I say a horse at a gallop, Tom." with what should be two lines but are now crammed together. Here's what I would expect as the final result if I could figure out how to replace things like I want. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at that favoured period, as at this.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wo-ho! said the coachman.€ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What o'clock do you make it, Joe?
