Thanks. I am trying to see what happens here:
perl: this is obvious
-pi.bak: simply copy the current file to it's name + .bak?
-e: there is no mention of this in man perl.
'BEGIN { $/=""; } s/\n //gm': the actual regex. I don't quite get it
*.vcard: go through all these files?

I actually need to change the regex so that it not only removes the space at the beginning of a line, but removes the newline character as well. The only newline characters that should remain are those not followed by a space. In php that would be str_replace("\n ", "", $string); however I cannot figure out the perl regex to modify it as such. And regexes are hard to google for!

I do appreciate the code example, but I am also trying to learn a bit (unusual, I know). I very much appreciate your assistance and patience.
