Find hard return, replace with soft return

[Joe Seven]

In the attached image there are 2 paragraph styles: TRIP NAME (line 1) and DETAILS (lines 2 and 3).

I am trying to find the first hard return in every paragraph using the DETAILS paragraph style and replace it with a hard return. In this case, it would be the hard return after "Avid".

Any idea how I could do this with GREP?

try this grep

find:

.+\K\r(?=.+)

format:

DETAILS

replace with:

\n

\r(?=.)  will be enough! …

I thought so too

then I thought if there are  empty lines with "DETAILS" paragraph style (wrongly applied)  that he doesn't want to eliminate

You might also explore the new features in CC2019 where you can change the spacing between paragraphs using the same style. This is how I control a large space after a list of bullets.
