I have a text document that was poorly formatted for my purposes, and I had to make some changes. But now I have another problem, which is a lot of sentences “stranded” on their own, like this:

    \n
    [some text here, bla bla bla.]\n
    \n

Does anyone know of a way to represent a sentence with regular expressions? I want to join these sentences with the paragraph above or below.
I swear I searched both Google and this site before asking.

Edit:
Sorry, I lost access to my original post, and couldn’t comment on Amber’s answer. I’ll register an account for future questions.
Plus, I neglected to mention the fact that I’m using Notepad++.

    How about looking for any pair of newlines with only a single terminating punctuation mark between them? E.g.

    \n([^\n.?!]+[.?!][^\n.?!]*)\n
    

    and then just replace that with…

    '\n\1 '
