[ale] some other regexp

[Ryan Bridges]

What I wound up doing, was to search for multiple instances of the line
break in hex form and then replace it with a single.
s/\x0D\x0A/\x0D\x0A/Z/gm;
s/ZZ/\x0D\x0A/gm;
s/Z/ /gm;

it was quick, dirty, and inefficient...  but it worked:)

Thanks for all of your help guys
Ryan
