Help Me With The Voyage Regex

[ghbondar]

Perhaps try using the double line-breaks /n/n ?

[ghbondar]

... for the paragraphs that don't begin with a square bracket, that is. Most of the paragraphs do begin with a square bracket.

[CodyKarch]

That helped me pick up square bracket paragraphs, but I can't seem to grab paragraphs that don't have brackets.

[ghbondar]

Did you try searching for a double line-break? \n\n
Perhaps a double line break following a punctuation mark and before a word:
.\n\n\w

[CodyKarch]

I was able to capture all the paragraphs with \n\n[A-Z]\w|\n\n[ but my problem now is.. that when I try to place in the tags, all the paragraphs smash together and I loose some of the alphanumerics starting my find Regex.

[CodyKarch]

Excuse me: \n\n[A-Z]\w|\n\n\[

[CodyKarch]

OMG. There is a slash before the end square bracket, but it won't appear in these comments.

[ghbondar]

If you are losing the break between the paragraphs, it is because you have them selected when you hit replace. Make sure you either add them back or preserve them when you replace.

@CodyKarch Did you figure out how to preserve space between the paragraphs? Think about how you create your capturing group(s)! Yes, in markdown in the GitHub comments, we need to designate literal code characters a special way, in between "tick marks": It's the top left key on your keyboard under the Esc key: **** You want to wrap any code or weird characters inside weirdStuff Here!` tick marks literally like this:

weirdStuff Here!
Type one tick mark before and one after each bit of code.

I was able to keep the breaks between paragraphs, but I overlooked the text and noticed that there were interlocking tags. Thus, I'm going to try and find the beginning and the end of the paragraphs, instead of simply the beginning.

[brookestewart]

I'm not able to keep the spacing between the paragraphs. Nothing I try seems to work.

[ebeshero]

If you are designating spacing with \n or \n\n that should be something you can use in a capturing group. But the numerical repetition indicators in curly braces don't work, so I think you won't be able to put \n{3} in a replace because you'll get literal characters in your replace. \n\n should work though.

The same kinds of things you did with the Blithedale exercise will work here too!
