[Copy plain Text] Regex replace help

[rosgr100]

Hi, i'm trying to create a regex which will bring the second line to the top while at the same time, it will retain a space between the text.

Example

Text
Second line text

To

Text Second line text

How would i do that?

Thanks

Basic

Here is a JavaScript replace() example:

const str = `Text
Second line text`;
const newStr = str.replace(/\r?\n/, ' ');
// Text Second line text

If you want more than one line to be replaced, then:

const newStr = str.replace(/\r?\n/g, ' ');

In Copy PlainText:

Find: /\r?\n/
Replace: put a single space

Advanced

There are more possible variations which might require adjustment to the regex e.g.

Text


Second line text

Or ...

Text (space)(space)(space)
Second line text

This is a more comprehensive regx:

const str = `Text
Second line text`;
const newStr = str.replace(/\s*[\r\n]+\s*/g, ' ');

Thank you @erosman for all the help and the effort you've to explain so thoroughly every sinlge detail or case.

I tried some different patterns but none of them worked, yours in the other hand is working perfectly.

Thanks again!
