Hi Bryan,
I had had exactly the same thought about using notepad++, but like you
was not having much success.

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,
