      seen on the screen?<br>
      Are you sure those are really empty, and no space in them?<br>
      <br>
      By the way, now I remember, that earlier I had problems, too, when
      I wanted to substitute a newline (searching works well).<br>
    </blockquote>
    Try using \r\n for finding the newline, so someting like "\|\r\n\|-"
    "|Yes\n|-"<br>
