The answer is YES. Try re-searching for [a-z]^Q^J[a-z] This will find every line that ends in an alpha char followed by a line that starts with a alpha char. I suppose the secret is to treat the newline as the ^J character not some special regexp end-of-line. I use this regularly. Stuart

The answer is YES. Try re-searching for [a-z]^Q^J[a-z] No, that falls under the "cumbersome" category. It is also limited to lines that start/end with letters. I like the other suggestion: [\000-\377]
