Hi, probably a silly question with an utterly obvious answer, but it would be great if someone can enlighten on it!
I'm searching and replacing a text file. In gedit, if I search for \n\r I get, as expected, a match at every line end. Same with \n or \r.
However, in Kate or Geany, I do not. Tearing hair out. What could be the problem? I've tried
\n [\n]
I've tried building up the expression in the K regex builder. I've tried selecting the line feed character and doing copy and paste. In Gedit it yields \n\r. In Geany it yields a couple of small square boxes with dots in them, which I then can't search on.
Changing the coding doesn't seem to help either. At least, the ones I have tried. Is this likely to be the explanation? It displays fine however, so how do I find out which different coding to use?
I would just do it in Gedit, except that as usual in the effort to make their apps unusable for anyone who wants to use them for anything, Gnome decline to support regex.....
