Remember to select Extended in the Replace dialog. This would replace line1 with line2, line3, and line4, in three separate lines. With Extended search mode enabled, you can search for tabs(\t), newline(\r\n), and a character by its value (\o, \x, \b, \d, and \\). While Notepad++ cannot find multi-line text by default, it surely can replace text in a single line with multi-line text using the Extended search mode. You can access these by clicking on Plugins > ToolBucket, in the menu. As the name suggests, there are other tools in the bucket. Once installed, press Alt+Shift+F key combination to open Multi-line Find and Replace dialog.įrom here, you can search for text within a particular text selection, current document, or in all the open documents.įind and Replace is not the only feature you get with ToolBucket. Under the Available tab, find and select ToolBucket, and click Install. You can also get this plugin from within the text-editor itself by going to Plugin Manager from Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager. Thanks to a little plugin called ToolBucket, we can now find and replace multi-line text in Notepad++.ĭownload and extract zip file, and copy the NppToolBucket.dll file to your Notepad++\plugins folder.

However, proper indentation (with tabs and blanks) and extra empty lines greatly. When you try to paste in a couple of lines into the find field, only the first line is entered, rest is ignored. For examples, JDK 1.8 has 48 keywords C11 has 44, and C++11 has 73. If you are a Notepad++ user, you’d be knowing that the program doesn’t support multi-line search.
