Finding end of line with specific character right after

[Ger PG]

Hello,

I have been searching the internet for a while now and I cannot seem to find a solution for my problem. I am trying to target line breaks that contain a specific character in the new line right after to replace that by something else.

For example, my text looks like:

This is an example text
@ and this is a new line

And I want it to look like:

This is an example text and this is a new line.

So I want to delete line breaks only if the next line begins by “@”.

The solution must be pretty simple but I am a little noob, so any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Using “find and replace”. Select ‘Extended’.
Search for \n@ and replace with nothing or space.
Assuming you use Linux End Of Line. If you use Windows EOL search for \r\n@.

I had tried \r\n @, with an empty space between the “n” and the “@”. Don’t really know why I put the space there.

Thanks for your help!
