Jim, u miss the point--there are times when there might be 5 or more
consecutive line breaks. Using the {3,} means replace 3 or more. Using
\n\n\n as u suggest makes it necessary to perform the search-&-replace
multiple times. Like I said, the weird thing is, that when I perform
that regexp using EdSharp w/a file open, it works like a charm. When
using the alt= file transform command, however, it drops like a rock.
Is Jamal on this list anymore, or would I be better off contacting him
privately regarding this, u think?
