Unable to replace LF in notepad++

Question

I am unable to replace LF in notepad++. Below are the steps I did

ctrl+f Replace tab

find what -\n replace with - ~

Though I have many line feeds which I can see when I go to view-show symbols, ctrl f is not finding them, what could be the reason.

Thanks

did you try \r\n not only \n?

When you press Ctrl + F and go to the Replace tab make sure that you have selected "Extended" in the Search Mode options.

Depending of the source of your file there might be different encodings for a new line Newline

If you are working on windows most likely \r\n with enhanced search mode should work.
