I'm have the trouble with a regex I've been using. It's a slightly modified version of one I found in this thread.

Find

Code:

(“[^”]*?)</p>\s+<p.+>([^“]*?”)

Replace

Code:

\1 \2

Sample

Code:

<p class="calibre1">“The cat</p>

  <p class="calibre1">sat on</p>

  <p class="calibre1">the mat”</p>

Gives me

Code:

<p class="calibre1">“The cat</p>

  <p class="calibre1">the mat”</p>

ie the middle line gets deleted. Why? I thought it might have been the clean source but I turned that off and restarted with the same results.
