How to split lines in search/replace
Submitted by Java1Guy on Thursday, 18 March, 2004 - 18:05
I basically want to insert a new line -- or split lines at some string.
Eg: line 1 line 2
via search/replace change to:
line 1
line 2

I'm sure it's simple but i sure can't find it in the docs. (Tried putting \n in the replace text but the slash and n appeared in the result.)

Thanks, Mark

Hope it helps!

Do you have 'Regular expressions' checked?
 
No.

Should I? Since it would seem to be a function of what special character to put in the replace string, i wouldn't think it would matter.

"\n" is not special unless you're using regular expressions. Check out jEdit's help on search & replace -- it's pretty good.
