Try either of these:

Search:     (.+)
Replace:    fieldname="\01" postargumentname="\01"

OR

Search:     (.*)\r
Replace:    fieldname="\01" postargumentname="\01"\r

Note that I prefer using "\01" rather than "&", but you can use the
above replace patterns with "&", too.

The search pattern .* can cause trouble when used by itself, because it
means "find as much as possible of anything (except end-of-line), even
nothing" -- and here it seems to be finding "nothing" at the end of each
line, after already matching "as much as possible of anything" ...
