<p dir="auto">Find What:\R(?=\d)</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Sorry there was a typo.</p>
<p dir="auto">It should be <code>\R(?!\d)</code><br />
So looking for a line following that does NOT have a number at the start.</p>
<p dir="auto">Apologies</p>

<p dir="auto">So it would seem a line starting with a number is the start. Any line NOT starting with a number is a continuation of the previous line.</p>
<p dir="auto">So we have, using the Replace function<br />
Find What:<code>\R(?=\d)</code><br />
Replace With:<code> </code>  a single space in this field.</p>
<p dir="auto">So we remove the carriage return/line feed and replace with a single space. I haven’t actually tested this as not on my PC, but I feel confident it will work.</p>

<p dir="auto">This is your second posting with the same information in a very short time.<br />
Please don’t do that, it wastes everyone’s bandwidth.</p>
<p dir="auto">Very people sit here and monitor these posts (what am I saying?? :-) ) so if you don’t get an instant response…then WAIT (or work on the problem yourself–there’s a thought!)</p>
