Thanks for the feedback, Don.
This is possible using the Replace with Regular Expression command,
Control+Shift+R, rather than the regular Replace command, Control+R.
TextPal documentation does not cover all the tokens and other syntax
available in regular expressions of the Ruby language. The support is
fairly complete, however, similar to Perl's.
I just tried your example successfully with the following search
expression
\n(\d+)
and the following replace expression
\\1
(There is a single space at the beginning of the replace expression.)
Hope this helps,
Jamal
