Replace the carriage return

#1 Replace the carriage return

Posted by: André | Date: 2010-10-24 17:06 | IP: IP Logged

Hello together!

In PSPad I want to replace the carriage return (new line sign) into an other sign (the #), so that the hole text is written in one line and the former lines are separated by the # sign.

What sign should I choose for the 'search' field?

Thank you,

André smiling smiley

...and one notice:

If I inscribe \n in 'search', it has no function - "'\n' was not found".

Unfortunately, PSPad doesn't support this currently - line endings cannot be replaced via search and replace function.
There is a script phReplace for this
forum.pspad.com
which might work for you,
or you can work around this by first adding the separator "#" at the end of the lines (add text to lines: Alt+I) or regexp replace:
$
with:
#

And then call Edit: Lines manipulation: Join lines
(the line endins are replaced with a space using this function).

Is there a way now to replace carriage return from text ?

I'm using it quite frequently to craft fast & stupid SQL queries from Excel.
(but for the moment I'm still forced to keep a notepad++ installed to do it)

Thanks !

Replace $ → #, then select required text and go to Edit → Line Manipulation → Join Lines, then use Remove Redundant Spaces if needed.

ok I was hoping that there would be a faster solution since then...
(read: directly replacing the carriage return, either by regexp or special character as in UltraEdit)...

But thanks for answer.
