Something similar to that. Much easier in Spanish, where hard hyphens are very seldom used. Search "-\n", replace with "¬" (for instance), then manually check all ¬: most will disappear, some will turn back into "-" or "- ". If I detect some common case, I can bulk-replace (like finding "Jean¬Jacques" several times in the first few chapters).

Be careful with words like to-day, up-stairs, etc. They might have been written with hyphens in that book, even though they usually aren't today. Whenever some suspect appears, search the whole book for similar instances and see if there's a pattern.
