What is the problem? I still don't know...
Hello,
Please, post some example data and detailed test case for the issue you are experiencing.
Don't explain - that is just a wast of time (your time and the reader's time). Show it.
Unicode data? You need unicode tools...
Are you trying to turn multiple lines into a single long line? Although it seems strange it might be what you need...
Try using regexp as it was a large block - not "set of lines" - it might help you.
Keep in mind that your solution might be very slow.
Also keep in mind the old saying: "You had a problem and decided to solve it by using regexps? So now you have two problems."
