Replace extended mode search function

Mar Hyg

I’ve checked everything posted, havent’t found what I’m looking for. I’m trying to format a dictionary, taken from an old pdf and processed through an OCR. now i’m trying to making some sense of it and I’ve got something like this:

mechanic [-k-] adj mecánico/a
media sb media, promedio
medical
adj
médico medicamento
sb
medicamento, medicina (píldoras, etc.)
medicina
sb
medicina (práctica de la)
medico
sb
médico, doctor medie
adj
medio/a mediedie
sb
mediodía medietate

until the end.

So its

\r\n[definition of previous] [next word]\r\n
\r\n [word function] \r\n
Definition of previous word] [next word]

Now, the functions are few enough that I believe this could be automated like so

search:
\w\r\n adj \r\n
replace with
\r\n\w\r\n adj \r\n

and repeating it a couple of times with sb, adj, vb, adv, etc. But that’s clearly not working, or else I wouldn’t be here.

And now I’m aout of ideas :3 ¿Any help?
