How to get rid of manual paragraphs spacing between lines

Hello!

Long story short, I have a document from page 2000 (300 k + words) that I'm currently formatting and proofreading, it is a very old book that has been digitized and typed upward by a computer.

To clarify my question:

There is a problem throughout the whole of the text: rather than use auto-spacing, defined by the margins of the document, there is a new paragraph between each line. It looks like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,

195kgs adipiscing elit.

SED, egestas had metus. DUIs

fitness, neque nec finished-

bus placerat, mi risus conv

Allis metus, hendrerit EU-

URIs quam non arcu.

Since volutpat lectus vel

dictum dignissim elit elit

justo, EU accumsan fermentum

SAPIEN and felis Tellus.

Instead:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, adipiscing elit computer. SED, egestas had metus. DUIs fitness neque nec finibus placerat, mi convallis metus, hendrerit quam non arcu mauris EU risus.

Amongst volutpat lectus vel dictum dignissim elit elit justo, EU sapien tellus and felis accumsan fermentum.

Is it possible to automate the deletion of all of these spaces of paragraph?

Pages seems to recognize hyphens where the words are divided into two paragraphs and treats these automatically, completing the word, when the paragraph is deleted manually, so I guess that there is a kind of function to do.

I know there are ways to do this by converting the text in plain text, but it would eliminate all other formatting, whole paragraphs are always separated in the text a bit correctly.

Is there an online tool or something similar?

I feel that there must be another way to proceed in the way that entirely manual, which takes a few seconds according to paragraph (71000 of them in the document = about 4 days ago)

Thanks in advance!

It is simply the recognition of patterns and then find and replace on them.

In this case, there is a return after each line, except two, between paragraphs, so search on both and replace those with a distinctive marker for example < r > then find on the single remaining returns and replace those who have a space to speak.

Then go back and search for the < r > and replace those with a return.

But you will find there is much more to a text clean only a few returns. There are also spaces around punctuation and common mistakes around the legs, media, etc.

5 pages is a very bad tool to do this, Pages ' 09 was better, but still not ideal.

Use a text as LibreOffice [free] or text dedicated as TextSoapcleaners.

  • Adware? And how to get rid of?

    Since last week when I'm redirected to a game at random navigation site. First of all, I thought it was just something to do with Firefox (the browser I used), but then the same thing happened with other browsers too. I then installed Opera to judge if it would happen again and Yes, it happened. Then I tried to reinstall the whole OS, hoping that would solve the problem. There can be no. I always get redirected to a site "yu0123456". How to get rid of this? I installed AdGuard so it blocks me enter the site, but still not open tabs. After the reset of the operating system (I also erased the hard drive), I did not visit malicious sites. I just downloaded programs I had before that happens again (steam, Spotify, discord). I tried to scan my Mac with Malware Antibytes, but he found nothing. If it's harmless, I could live with that, but it's very irritaring. If there is a chance he could phis my information, so I want that he removed as soon as possible. What can I do?

    Thanks in advance!

    Adware is usually not malicious. Its purpose is to push ads into your face. Adware makers get a fraction of a payment of one hundred whenever an ad is shown. That's their motivation.

    You say wipe you the drive, but if you restored a backup Time Machine or Migration Wizard to restore your applications and the user account, you managed that by copying the problem at the back.

    MalwareBytes for Mac can't catch everything. The adware manufacturers are constantly changing which moved things and which appoints the files have. It's a job without end for manufacturers of MalwareBytes to catalogue these items, so they can be found and removed. But of course he is not hurt anything to use as it can remove a lot of problems for you, leaving only the new elements, unknown to locate and remove manually.

    Depending on where you have steam, Spotify and discord, the installers may have been (and often are) responsible for the installation of adware and you want to install.

    Download and run EtreCheck. Copy and paste the results here. It is written and maintained by long time forum member etresoft. Any personal information is automatically excluded from the output. The goal is to see what processes are running on your Mac. From there, they can usually determine what is wrong.

  • How to get rid of malware on my macbook

    How to get rid of malware on my macbook... I'm getting lots of pop-up windows on my macbook and an employee of deleted Mac software I paid for (don't remember the name of it) when I was at the Mac store in Adelaide a few months ago because she said, Mac is not viruses or malware. All that has been downloaded to my Mac is disrupting my work so you would appreciate the help as soon as POSSIBLE... Please! Free would be better that I don't want to pay 2 times.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if it is not a type of adware is covered by them on the computer, these. If you would rather not remove it manually, you can run rather MalwareBytes for Mac.

    MalwareBytes is a removal tool and does not stop adware or other malware from entering the computer. For effective protection, do not download software from sources other than the Mac App Store or Developer Web sites.

  • How to get rid of spyware on safari?

    How can I get rid of the Malware/Spyware?

Yes it's called Searchme, no I have no extensions in my preferences, I also have a pop up window coming often asking me to verify my mackeeper which I don't have in my computer at all!

    I don't know how to get rid of those that I have looked everywhere and found nothing! I guess my pirate safari and I can't find how to have it cleaned.

    TechTool won't find ;(

    Thanks for your help!

    Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

    You can also remove the adware manually by following the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    After that, make sure that your default search provider is set to the one you always use. To do this, open Safari - Preferences - research.

    Go to the Safari menu (at the top right of your screen next to the Apple icon), choose 'Quit Safari'

    Press the "Shift" key and while holding this button on your unique keyboard, click the icon of Safari on your Dock.

    Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - data to remove any Web site.

    Also, I think it would be a good idea to install AdBlock.

  • How to get rid of a popup offering to remember my password that appears in the upper left corner?

    Yes, this popup is annoys me no end! It appears each time I fill in a password anywhere! It is more or less said: "Do you remember this password?". first of all I didn't know what program did this, but now I know that it is Mozilla Firefox. Why so many of (and undesirable too) want to pop-up windows to 'help' when in fact what they do is irritate the person and not even identify the program. It is a parody of the worst kind! You do not?

    If anyone knows how to get rid of it forever, please let me know? Thank you very much! Adelaa

    If you want to just disable this for a specific domain, you can click the drop-down list and click "never for this site". Otherwise, you can go to the Security section of the firefox preferences (enter ' subject: preferences #security ' in the address bar) and uncheck "remember passwords for sites".
