This formula does its job:
Find: (?=(^.{120,130}))(^\n?.{61})
Replace: \2\n
I then repeat this formula with different values, from high to low.
(?=(^.{120,130}))(^\n?.{61})
(?=(^.{110,120}))(^\n?.{55})
(?=(^.{100,110}))(^\n?.{50}
)(?=(^.{90,100}))(^\n?.{45})
(?=(^.{80,90}))(^\n?.{40})
(?=(^.{70,80}))(^\n?.{35})
Since there are many different files involved, it would be nice if this
search and replace command could be done for the whole series at once. Is
that even possible?
