I have a file I am trying to clean up. It was converted from a pdf to epub and many new paragraphs were inserted where not necessary.

I stink at regular expression syntax for replace. To find the errant code, I have success with this:

Code:

</p>\n\n <p class="calibre2">[a-z]

For the replace string I merely wish to substitute <space> and whatever is found with the [a-z] component of the search string.

An example would be this:

Code:

.....the</p>

  <p class="calibre2">cat....

I want the replace to result as "...the cat ..."
