[Solved] Search & Replace - Tabs and Paragraph marks

[MMHouston]

I have imported a large test file that resulted in a series of line all ending with a paragraph mark. I know I can search for paragraph marks (\n) but I would also like to use tabs as replacements for two paragraph marks in series. What is the character code for tabs (\t?)?

Thanks for your help.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

See [Solved] Find and replace paragraph breaks.
You can try this macro also: Convert ASCII text files by deleting extra paragraph breaks.

And: [Tutorial] How to install a code snippet.

And yes, tab code is \t. Look at the AOO help file for the list of regular expressions with some samples.

I have tried this, but it doesn't work. I keep getting the message: Search key not found!

Worked after I clicked 'regular expressions'.
