Subject: replacing two consecutive words where the two words could be separated by multiple spaces or newlines.

Message-ID: <23093020.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


I wanted to replace all occurrences of `a integer' with `an integer' in a
latex file. But a simple query replace would replace the first `a integer'
of the following paragraph, but not the second one because the second one is
actually separated by a newline and two spaces (the indent).


  This is a integer. That is a
  integer. ...

What is an automated way to change paragraphs like above to paragraphs like
below?

  This is an integer. That is an
  integer. ...
