It removes all singly occurring newlines.
This is a negative, zero-width, look-behind assertion (?<! \n ) It
means that the variable does not match what it contains, in this case a
newline, before the match but do not include what it matches in the match.
This is a negative, zero-width, look-ahead assertion (?! \n ) It means
that the variable does not match what it contains after the match but do
not include what it matches in the match.
