In theory, the regular expression:
Find: \.\r\n=
Replace: \r\n=

would do what you want (assuming \r\n is the correct line ending character arrangement). However, testing this in MarcEdit just now, this appears not to work--it reported 0 replacements (though it was able to Find each one separately).

I tried using the find/replace regular expression \.\r\n= in Notepad++, but in very limited time for testing was unable to get it to work either. (If I'd had MacOS available to me (it would have required starting up my old computer), I'd likely have tried using BBEdit Lite (or its replacement, TextWrangler [1]), which was very good at regular expression replacements.)

I hope this helps,
