    Hello

    I am a VB programmer and had contact with notepad++ this year.
    I loved the program, but I have made one Editor in Visual Basic that has some functionalities that could be present in Notepad++ as well

    They are:

    1- Find, select and replace CR LF characters and other invisible characters as TAB
    2- Regexp working with \n and \r

    I didn't manage to see it working in Notepad++ yet.

    Regards

      Working with newlines in Notepad++ is tricky because of deficiencies in Scintilla, which it's based on.  See http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/newlineFindReplace-HOWTO.php for all the ways of doing it that I could discover.

      Also note that control+T will match a tab character in advanced search/replace (control+r). Maybe only in non-regexp mode.
