do you mean that instead of matching lines you want to match records delimited by \u2424? if so, you can use sam or acme structured regular expressions, sres, or you can just tr  '\n'. if you want to save the original newlines, you can first change those to an unused character in your text. as cinap mentions, there's no need to escape codepoints >= 0x80. rc treats 'em all as the same class of symbol as a-z. - erik
