Sorry moxxx68.

You posted an example sed command:

sed '/\.$/G;/[0-9]*;G;' filename

This command adds an extra 'return' character at the end of each paragraph and after each time stamp. This work fine as far as I can tell.

You also said that you sometimes get extra new lines or control charcters inserted accidentally. What do you mean by this? Are these characters in the original files or after you have run the sed command on them?
