    I have the following macro, which allows me to rearrange

    1
    2
    3

    to

    3
    2
    1

    but I would like to be able to rearrange

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5

    to

    543
    21

    Would appreciate an edit to get this working, please. Also, are there any resources available for people wanting to create custom macros for UE or do we have to rely on these forums?

      Sorry for the very late answer. But I looked now into your question and your macro and have seen that you only need a regex replace at the end of your macro. So just add the following commands to your macro and you should get what you want. If your file is not a DOS file and opened without auto conversion to DOS you have to use \n for Unix instead of \p or \r for MAC instead of \p.

      Find RegExp "^(.*)\p(.*)\p(.*)\p(.*)\p(.*)$"
      Replace All "\1\2\3\p\4\5"
