Thanks Patrick. I have used \r quite a bit before, but never \n. Isn’t the latter more Unix-oriented? It’s been a long time since I have looked into this kind of stuff.
At any rate, so I appear to have three options: option-return, \r and \n. Actually, yes, I do want the hard returns so it physically looks like what I have in other documents. :) Bill > The short answer is that BBEdit does not support manually adding 'soft' line > breaks within either documents or the Find window -- though since the > contents of the "Find" and "Replace" fields automatically soft wrap, that > shouldn't be necessary if you're just inserting running text. > If however you do need to add 'hard' line break(s) into your search and/or > replace strings, you can use the special characters \n or \r as they're not > limited to grep patterns. > PS: Please further note that typing Option-Return within the "Find" or > "Replace" fields of the Find window inserts a literal or 'hard' line break > into that field, which may -- or may not -- be what you want. :-) > Regards, > Patrick Woolsey -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
