how to replace new lines?
Hi,
I have been doing the straight forward finding new lines using ^p . If I do a wild card search (regular expression), what to use in place of the ^p? I've tried \n. It didn't work. It works with ^p. Thanks. |

^013 - you can use the character code equivalent for any character.

To add to what Jezebel and Graham have said, ^p doesn't find "new lines." It
finds paragraph breaks. A "line break" (new line character) is found by searching for ^l (lowercase L); this works with wildcards as well. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for all of the responses.
In Word, ^013 works, ^l doesn’t If I use WordPad, both doesn’t work. If I use WordPad I lot, what is the character to use to replace that "new line". Is it CR or CR/LF or LF use in WordPad? Thanks. |

^l will work in Word if there is a line break to find. ^011 is an
alternative for that. This forum is for Word! Wordpad is a rudimentary word processor that does not have the search functionality of Word. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org light_wt wrote: Thanks for all of the responses.
