I tried to do what you want with TextPal and discovered a problem with
how replacement substitutions were being handled with regular
expressions. I've fixed the problem and posted an updated TextPal at
http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/palsetup.exe
(It may be installed over a prior version.)
For the search string, use
(\d+)\n
For the replacement string, use
\1
There is a single space at the end of the replacement string.
Hope this helps,
Jamal

Subject: [guispeak] Using text pal with regular expressions
Hello,
In looking through the docs for Text Pal, I cannot seem to find
the appropriate symbols for regular expressions. I hope to
locate the syntax for accomplishing the following:
In this text document, I want to locate all occurrences of a crlf
pair preceeded immediately by one or more digits. I now wish to
replace all such occurrences with the same digits followed by
ascii 32.
I subsequently located backslash p to represent the crlf pair
and backslash d to represent any digit. However, please could
you supply the syntax necessary to accomplish the above task.
Thank you.
Cordially,
Don Roberts
