    I would need a Find/Replace with non printable and special characters.
    How could I for instance change ";" to a <CR><LF>?

    I used to do this in MS Word 2000, but now I do nolonger have it on my PC.
    Currently I only use OpenOffice.org and Notepad++.
    The alternative would be amacro in OpenOffice.org, but it goes beyond the "Line-by-Line" sequence and can only be processed when processing two or more lines at the same time, which makes it more difficult than intended.
    Has anyone perhaps already written such a tool?

    THANKS !!

    Kind regards

      I would also love this feature,
      When editing code, I could really use a multi line search/replace, where cr/lf is part of the search/replace criteria.

          Then you can follow instructions here:

          Also, many, many posts on this forum about the matter, so it should be relatively easy to find

            Where does it say anything about special characters?

            Could you give an example?
