    …finding all of the new line/line feed characters - only in those now-bookmarked lines - and replace them with some other character (spaces, dummy chars, whatever) to get each of those records to be on one line

    Didn’t we do all this the other day?

        I assume you meant (.\|){9}.
        This matches 9 and more pipe delimited lines.

            in fact, I mean…

            (。\|){9}。*

            but it can’t show correctly, and I don’t know how to put screenshot

              To quote my boilerplate:

              This forum is formatted using Markdown, with a help link buried on the little grey ? in the COMPOSE window/pane when writing your post. For more about how to use Markdown in this forum, please see @Scott-Sumner’s post in the “how to markdown code on this forum” topic, and my updates near the end. It is very important that you use these formatting tips – using single backtick marks around small snippets, and using code-quoting for pasting multiple lines from your example data files – because otherwise, the forum will change normal quotes ("") to curly “smart” quotes (“”), will change hyphens to dashes, will sometimes hide asterisks (or if your text is c:\folder\*.txt, it will show up as c:\folder*.txt, missing the backslash).

              For images: upload image to imgur. embed images with the syntax ![](http://i.imgur.com/QTHZysa.png). (please use imgur’s “direct link” with i.imgur.com as the hostname and the appropriate .png or .gif extension, rather than the “image” link, which really links to the HTML-wrapper, and will not embed in the forum)

                  Then why not put it in tick marks? Both the help I linked to and the “how to use markdown code” post explained how to do that, as did my boilerplate text itself.

                  • `(.*\|){9}.*`

                  renders as

                  • (.*\|){9}.*
