Search and replace newline in windows Notepad

Normally I'd do a search and replace for "n" but that doesn't seem to work.

I think it might by ^(something) but can't remember what.

Note this is question is directed at Notepad, not Notepad++. Bad Bing and Google, no biscuit!

There's not a direct way in Notepad itself, but if you don't want to use an external program and you're comfortable with the command line you could do something like the following:

type FILE_NAME | more /P > TEMP_FILE_NAME && move /Y TEMP_FILE_NAME FILE_NAME

This will output the file to the more command, and with the /P will expand form feed characters (i.e. change n to rn) and save it to the temp file you specify .. the move /Y just automates it a little more to overwrite the old file with the n endings with the new file with the rn endings.

Hope that helps.

Use Notepad2. It is literally the first thing I do after installing any version of Windows. Always.

Florian (the creator) has an installer that will replace the normal Notepad.exe application that ships with Windows (admin/elevation required to install it, not needed to run it). After using the installer, Notepad2 will run instead, whenever 'notepad.exe' is run.

You can also download a normal installer (installs to where ever you choose) where elevation is not required to install it, as well as the source code, etc.

Using Notepad2 for the search and replace is super simple. In the Replace text dialog, check the 'Translate backslashes' option. Then you can use rn, n, t, etc., in the Search and/or Replace text fields.
