Find/Replace: not to span multiple lines

[cheer8923]

I tried with ([^13]@) but the match still spans multiple lines.

What's the proper regular expression not to span multiple lines?

thanks!

If you want to EXclude paragraph marks, you should use [tt][[][/tt][red][tt]![/tt][/red][tt]^13]@[/tt]

Enjoy,
Tony

Why is there [] inside [[]!^13]?

Thanks!

Hi cheer8923,

Your Find expression tells Word to find paragraph breaks. Despite the @, it'll only find them one at a time. Perhaps you need:
([^13]{1,})
to find any consecutive sequence of one or more paragraph breaks, or:
([^13]{2,})
to find any consecutive sequence of two or more paragraph breaks.

Why is there [] inside [[]!^13]?

I'm just back from holiday and don't know if you're still interested, but ... because I screwed up posting. It should, of course, have read [blue][tt][!^13]@[/tt][/blue]

Enjoy,
Tony
