in thread replace \n with space to join indented lines

Thank you ikegami. The problem is that I do have files that have paragraphs that contain more than 2 lines (sorry, I should have made that clearer in my original post). Is there a way in which you solution could be invoked as a one liner? Thank you

If you want a one-liner, put it all on one line! `perl -i.bak -e "local $/; $_=<>; 1 while s/^(([ ]+)(?![ ])[^\n]+)\n\2( +?![ ])/$1/m; print" myfile.txt` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
