Hi everybody,

I need some advise with search and replace and newline with Geany.

Consider the following lines:

This is an example
"line starting with quotes
line starting without quotes

I want to find every line that does NOT start with a quote and replace 
the new line character that preceed it. In other words, all lines not 
starting with a quote should be joined with the previous line.

In Geany, when only using the Option "Use regular expressions", the \n 
pattern does not find any new line characters. When I only apply "Use 
escape sequences", it finds the new lines. But using both options 
together again does not work.

As i need to find all lines not starting with a quote, I have to use a 
regex [^"] AND be able to find new lines...

Am I missing some setting here or is it a bug, that "Use regular 
expression" does not recognize \n? Or is there another regex syntax for 
matching new lines that would work?

Thanks for your help!
Gregor
