How to find and replace new line in Notepad ++

Question

I use \n, but the new line is not replaced.

I supposed the new lines contain 2 characters, \n and \l, but searching and replacing \l yields to no results as well.

@nixda This question is about looking for newlines, the other is about inserting newlines.

Are you sure you enabled search-mode "extended"?

By the way, what kind of "new line" depends on the system you are working on. On Windows you might try and search for \r\n

\l -> matched lowercase letters (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) – Korenaga Jan 28 at 6:34

\r is indeed the issue – Jim Thio Jan 28 at 6:45
