Aside from the seemingly random leading spaces (which is all I need to be rid of to be able to actually USE this huge chunk of data) the file is nearly perfect for what I need Notepad++ to be able to do to it. I want to preserve the blank lines between "blocks" of data (there's four lines to each "block") because the data in the first line essentially is a title and the following lines all relate to it - and all of the few thousand "blocks" follow this same exact structure. This line, leading a new "block" of related text lines off, may start with one. I would do this in Notepad++: 1) 'Unwrap' ldif, as Mathias suggested, especially if dn is in multiple lines. Find and Replace notpad++ to insert text at start. example of my text, somewhat exaggerated to show the spacing problem clearly - Step 2: To add Text at the Start of each line Press Ctrl+F to open Find window, click on the Replace tab, check that you have selected Regular Expression option, now add in the Find textbox and the text you want at the start of each line in the Replace textbox, and click Replace all. I've got a large (somewhere around 27,000 lines long) text document and there's situations like this: Seriously though, I've looked all over (even Google'd it) and I'm stuck.
Anyone have any ideas? I've read the help docs, scoured the forums, tried pressing random key combinations while doing a one-armed hand-stand and re-reading the help files (okay, it wasn't a ONE-ARMED hand-stand but come on give me a break, I was reading the help files upside on my monitor waaaay up on my desk). But I can't seem to find anything that will delete leading spaces from a document. I know there's a method of deleting trailing spaces, extraneous blank lines, and for turning tabs into spaces.
