I'm willing to give another text editor a try, but I wouldn't mind getting some help on the syntax. Unless I'm mistaken though EmEditor appears to be another commercial text editor and if I'm reading things right it's actually more expensive than UltraEdit! I already know that it works within UltraEdit so if anything I'd stick with that software. Most important though, this should all be standard Regex stuff. There just isn't a good reason why I shouldn't be able to perform this same function in one of the free text editors available. Plenty of them do Regex functions.

That works well for a book with consistent breaks in roughly the same location for every line (OCR, pdf, many well formatted text files), but it will fail where the hard breaks are inconsistent/infrequent. Reducing the unwrap factor basically tells Calibre to look for shorter lines than the median. The fewer or more erratic the breaks the lower you need to go, sometimes all the way down to 0.05.

Sounds like some good advice, I'll have to give it another chance on those problem files. I'd still like to have a good text editor as a fallback if needed.
Thanks!
