This is your second posting with the same information in a very short time.
Please don’t do that, it wastes everyone’s bandwidth.

Very people sit here and monitor these posts (what am I saying?? :-) ) so if you don’t get an instant response…then WAIT (or work on the problem yourself–there’s a thought!)

The “few” was in between these words in my brain…what happened to it? :-)

So it would seem a line starting with a number is the start. Any line NOT starting with a number is a continuation of the previous line.

So we have, using the Replace function
Find What:\R(?=\d)
Replace With: a single space in this field.

So we remove the carriage return/line feed and replace with a single space. I haven’t actually tested this as not on my PC, but I feel confident it will work.

Sorry there was a typo.

It should be \R(?!\d)
So looking for a line following that does NOT have a number at the start.

Apologies
