Replace newlines with commas

[Nedo Papanti]

Hello,

there's one thing which I think I was able to do with previous SciTE versions which apparently I am not able to do anymore with SciTE 3.6.7 on my Windows 7 machine.

 

That is, start from two lines

line_one

line_two

and obtain a single, comma-separated line

line_one,line_two

 

I tried in the way I think I was successful with previous SciTE versions but it didn't work with 3.6.7: go to "Search, Replace", click on the "Regular expression" button and then input (double quotes excluded) "\n" in the "Find" field and "," in the "Replace" field.

I also tried lots of combinations of options of "Search, Replace" as well as using "\r", "\r\n" etc.

 

Can you help?

 

Thx

The regex code in SciTE can not match expressions that include new lines. So turn “Regular expression” off and “Transform backslash expressions" on.

All clear, thank you.
