The same wiki also mentions the Hex editor alternative: I recommend this method as the most reliable, unless you really need to use regex.Īs an example, to remove every second newline in a double spaced file, enter Ctrl+ M twice in the search string box, and once in the replace string box. They will be replaced by the replace string. Neither does a search on an explicit (pasted) LF, or on the (invisible) EOL characters placed in the field when an EOL is selected.Īdvanced search ( Ctrl+ R) without regexpĬtrl+ M will insert something that matches newlines. : a regular expression search with an explicit \r or \n does not work (contrary to the Scintilla documentation). The '.' dot metacharacter does not match line endings. The anchor characters work identically in all file formats. For instance, searching for return $ will find occurrences of "return " that occur with no subsequent text on that same line. Regular expressions use the characters ^ and $ to anchor the match string to the beginning or end of the line. Simple search (Ctrl+F), Search Mode = Regular expression Similarly, a Macintosh-format file will contain \r but not \n.
Searching for \r in a UNIX-format file will not find anything, but searching for \n will. The "Extended" option shows \n and \r as characters that could be matched.Īs with the Normal search mode, Notepad++ is looking for the exact character. Simple search (Ctrl+F), Search Mode = Extended You can manually copy the EOL and paste it into the field for Unix files ( LF-only). or, to select EOL with the mouse, start just at the line end and drag to the start of the next line dragging to the right of the EOL won't work.Just move the cursor to the end of the line, and type Shift+ Right Arrow.You can select an EOL in the editing window. Some relevant extracts includes the following search processes: Simple search ( Ctrl+ F), Search Mode = Normal (mentioned by georgiecasey in his/her answer below)
