One detail I've seen in other editors, that could make implementing this easy (Don?), is they allow
COPY of the show-all-characters view, and PASTE into the Find bars. ( Saves having to remember the ^xx or Alt-nnn stuff.., and easier than new menu options.. )
In this OPs case, you would copy/paste <crlf>, and search for <crlf><crlf> and replace with <crlf>NewTextStuff<crlf>

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Using the regular find/replace (control+H) with regex turned on, I just tried replacing ^$ with <P> and it worked fine for me. Am I missing something here? My test file used CR LF for newlines.
If you use the TextFX find/replace (control+R), with regex turned off, you can replace ^M^M with ^M<P>^M. You'll need to run it several times if there are any multiple blank lines.

I tried using the replace feature with the following:
^$ in the find field
<p> in the replace field
Does anyone know a solution that will work for filling all blanking lines with specific text, that has been tested and works???
Thanks.
Hi, i'm also wondering about finding CR LF, but haven't found a solution yet.
I tried \n (as Escape for new line), but that only works in a Replace term and not for finding. Would be a really usefull feature.
I'll give ^M a try.
thx
Currently not possible. Sorry!
