The cost of adding a feature isn't just the time it takes to code it. The cost also includes the addition of an obstacle to future expansion. The trick is to pick the features that don't fight each other. |

I want to replace the new line with a space where the first character of the next line is lower case. However, I need to maintain that first character. All the substitutions I explore will remove that first character. So I want to do a match, but repalce what is in front of the matching pattern, not the pattern itself. Is this possible?
