    Hi
    I know there is another symbol for a newline char,
    so if i have a huge list
    a
    b
    c
    d
    .
    .
    .

    but want that to become a b c d . . . . .

    i can do a simple replace "newline char" with a space,
    but i can't remember what it is ?
    \n doesn't work ..

    anyone know ?

    Ctrl + a (select all)

    then

    Ctrl + j (join lines)

    Could it be you need to use \r\n (cr + lf), instead of just \n in the regex?

    I've never used notepad++, so it's just a guess.

    I remember if I transfer a file from dos to unix the dos file has a ^M (Ctrl-M) as a line end ... is this what you are thinking of?
