You can do it TextPad as follows: Paris in the\nspringtime I hope this helps. That only works in the regular find (within a file). In the "Find in Files" dialog, textpad gives an error if the search string contains a "\n". I need to do the search across multiple files. Mitch

Is there a way that I can search for a string that may occur across a line break?

For example, if the file contains the two lines

Paris in the
springtime

I'd like to be able to find it using this (or any other) regex:

"Paris.*springtime"

Is it possible for the results from a "find in files" to return the matching line and the two previous lines?

for example, if the file contains the lines

one
two
three
four

a search for "three" would return

one
two
three

I did not move to a new PC, so exporting from hkey current user, then importing to hkey current user, may not work. I found my old license code, so I'll just start "clean". Maybe I'll check out the latest version of TP while I'm at it.

Thanks.
