Notepad++ replace new line
A simple but useful task!
In Notepad++, you can replace new lines using the "Replace" function. Here's how:
- Open your file in Notepad++.
- Go to "Edit" > "Replace" or press Ctrl + H.
- In the "Find what" field, enter
\r\n
(this is the regular expression for a new line). - In the "Replace with" field, enter the desired replacement text. For example, if you want to replace new lines with a single space, enter a single space (` `).
- Click "Replace All" to replace all new lines with the specified text.
Alternatively, you can use the "Find and Replace" dialog box with regular expressions enabled. To do this:
- Go to "Edit" > "Find and Replace" or press Ctrl + H.
- In the "Find what" field, enter
\r\n
(this is the regular expression for a new line). - In the "Replace with" field, enter the desired replacement text.
- Check the box next to "Regular expression" at the bottom of the dialog box.
- Click "Replace All" to replace all new lines with the specified text.
Note: \r\n
is the regular expression for a new line in Windows. If you're using a different operating system, you may need to use a different regular expression. For example, on macOS, you can use \n
to match a new line.
