Notepad++ Combine Specific Line with second line

Question

I'm trying to combine every line that starts with "Text" with the second line:

Text 1  
    Line 1  
    Line 2  
    Line 3  
    Line 4
Text 2  
    Line 1  
    Line 2  
    Line 3
Text 3  
    Line 1  
    Line 2  
    Line 3  
    Line 4  
    Line 5  
    Line 6 
Text 4
    Line 1
    Line 2

And I'd like it to look like this.

Text 1      Line 1  
    Line 2  
    Line 3  
    Line 4
Text 2      Line 1  
    Line 2  
    Line 3
Text 3      Line 1  
    Line 2  
    Line 3  
    Line 4  
    Line 5  
    Line 6 
Text 4      Line 1
    Line 2

I have managed to combine them but the issue is that it removes the number, so it ends up like "Text Line 1" instead of "Text 1 Line 1". I want to keep the tab space as well.

Answer 1

• Ctrl+H
• Find what: (^Text.*)\R
• Replace with: $1
• CHECK Wrap around
• CHECK Regular expression
• UNCHECK . matches newline
• Replace all

Explanation:

(           # start group 1
^           # beginning of line
Text        # literally Text
.*          # 0 or more any character but newline
)           # end group
\R          # any kind of linebreak

Replacement:

$1          # content of group 1
