Notepad++ replace new line

A simple but useful task!

In Notepad++, you can replace new lines using the "Replace" function. Here's how:

  1. Open your file in Notepad++.
  2. Go to "Edit" > "Replace" or press Ctrl + H.
  3. In the "Find what" field, enter \r\n (this is the regular expression for a new line).
  4. 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 (` `).
  5. 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:

  1. Go to "Edit" > "Find and Replace" or press Ctrl + H.
  2. In the "Find what" field, enter \r\n (this is the regular expression for a new line).
  3. In the "Replace with" field, enter the desired replacement text.
  4. Check the box next to "Regular expression" at the bottom of the dialog box.
  5. 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.
