In the Edit>Find>Search and Replace… dialog, pressing control+option+command+p will bring up a little dialog letting you insert a few special characters. If you do this kind of stuff all the time, you could use an editor that supports GREP. macOS comes with at least three of them for the command line built in: pico, vi and emacs. A more Mac-like one is BBEdit <http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/>. The free version does GREP and a whole lot more. GREP stands for Generalized Regular Expression Parser. It is the really powerful search and replace facility built into most programming editors.
