title: Regular Expression Not Working in Notepad++
body: <p>I am doing a Find &amp; Replace in Notepad++.  Each of the pieces work correctly, but when I put the entire string together, it is not working.</p>
  
  <p>I have an old HTML document I am editing where the original page cut up the text, thus:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div&gt;
      &lt;h2&gt;Title&lt;/h2&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;This is a line of[CR][LF]
      text that was cut to[CR][LF]
      fit on screen.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to find the line breaks that are cutting up the text and eliminate them, but not other line breaks.</p>
  
  <p>My regular expression is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>([A-z0-9]+)[\r\n][ ]{3,}([A-z0-9]+)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It will be replaced with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$1 $2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried each of the pieces of my regular expression and they all find what I would expect:  <code>([A-z0-9]+)</code> finds text, <code>[\r\n]</code> is finding my line breaks, <code>[ ]{3,}</code> is finding their initial indents, and <code>([A-z0-9]+)</code> again finds text.</p>
  
  <p>I have even tried sets of expressions and they all work:  <code>([A-z0-9]+)[\r\n]</code> is finding text at the end of a line, <code>[\r\n][ ]{3,}</code> is finding line breaks with the indent at the beginning of the new line, and <code>[ ]{3,}([A-z0-9]+)</code> is finding initial indents followed by text.</p>
  
  <p>Perhaps I have two questions:
  1) Is this a Notepad++ bug, or have I missed something with my regular expression?
  2) Any ideas on solving this by some other expression?</p>
  
  <p>If it is a bug, I suppose I can just trial and error until something works.  It would probably be well to report the bug, though, so if anyone can verify that, it would help.</p>
