need to delete 50 linefeeds in a row..

[amster]

I have text output... and then its separated by 50 line feeds or carriage returns.... (not sure which or if there is a difference!) and then there's more text... and then 50 line feeds again.....


Please can someone help me accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

There's a Regular Expression in the TextCrawler library called 'Find/Strip Whitespace' - this may do the job (back up first though)!

Hi there. Thanks for the response. Yes I have seen that feature.

But I do not want to get rid of the rest of the whitespace... I want to just find the sections where I have big breaks of like 20, 30, 40, 50 lines of linefeed.

Please help!

Try this:

RegEx

Code: Select all

(\r\n){20,}

Replace:

Code: Select all

\r\n

The 20 is the minimum number of blank lines (-1) before it is removed. This assumes CRLF line endings - you may have to change it to just \n for LF endings.
