Hi Rick, The cross-platform GUI library TextPal uses (WxWidgets) uses line feeds without carriage returns for line endings within the editing buffer in memory. To do the conversion you want, I suggest replacing "\n " with "\n" and then exporting to Mac format, Control+Shift+E, which uses carriage returns as line endings. To replace tabs with spaces, replace "\t" with "\ " -- again, only the regular replace command, Control+R, is needed. It recognizes the tokens \n, \t, and \f (form feed). The RegExp replace command, Control+Shift+R, recognizes these and other tokens in a more complex syntax, as you may know.
