find next empty line in a table field

[Robert Sneidar]

Lemme jump in here and say I was searching for a way to use Regular  
Expressions to find White Space, and came to the conclusion that you  
can't. It would be nice to find a series of spaces of variable  
lengths but I am stumped as to how. It wouldn't solve the matter of  
mixed cr's, tabs lf's and spaces.
