Add blank space if line does not exist?

Post by viacin »

Hello Everyone. Let me explain what I'm trying to do, I hope you can help.

I am formatting txt files, most of my files have keywords, like so:

Keywords:
real estate, debt consolidation, bad credit, home ownership, buy home, buy house, rent

I am removing the "Keywords:" line entirely and just keeping the keywords themselves. My problem is some of my files have no keywords and I need a blank line inserted where the keywords would go. How could I do this? I've tried everything I could think of.

Why don't you do a search replace for

Code: Select all

Keywords:\r\n
and replace with

Code: Select all

\r\n
ie keep the line - remove the 'keywords:' heading?
