What I did was do the search with a regex that captured the newline (\n) and then used the $x to put that into the replacement. Worked fine, but had to be applied over and over since multiple instances wouldn't match in the same regex. I think it was something like. /(.*) (.*)(\n)/ with $1$3$2 John on "Replace " " with newline?" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/replace-ltbr-gt-with-newline#post-150 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 11:28:24 +0000 John 150@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ An interesting problem! I've added this to the feature request list as it's probably something that cannot be done as the plugin stands. thingles on "Replace " " with newline?" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/replace-ltbr-gt-with-newline#post-127 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:07:32 +0000 thingles 127@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ Ugh -- seems that even HTML entity tags get converted...

I've been able to clean up hundreds of old blog posts. I have one situation that I can't seem to figure out the right fix for. I have a couple hundred posts that were imported from another blog. That blog inserted " " with every newline. I'd like to purge the " " out and replace with a newline character. I can't seem to get a newline character in though. I tried "\n" and "\\n" on the replace string but both cases just put a "\n" in the text. Any ideas on how to get a newline in?
